The problem it solves

Researching investors by hand means jumping between sites, copying details into spreadsheets, and hoping you haven't missed something. It eats hours you'd rather spend building relationships or closing deals.

Who it fits

A startup founder, business development team, or analyst tracking investors and funding trends.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system looks up investor and firm data
  2. It pulls funding history and portfolio company details
  3. The information is organized and cleaned up
  4. Everything is logged to a spreadsheet ready for review
What you get

Investor and funding trends you track over time

You get a running spreadsheet of investor and funding data, organized and updated on a schedule so your research is always current.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet of investor profiles, funding history, and portfolio companies.

What you need

A Crunchbase API subscription and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
