The problem it solves

Tracking who just raised money in your industry means someone checking funding news sites daily and copying the details into a spreadsheet by hand. Skip a day and you miss deals your competitors already spotted.

Who it fits

Investors, startup scouts, and business development teams tracking funding activity.

How it works

  1. The automation checks Crunchbase every day on a schedule
  2. It filters results by your chosen location and industry
  3. Key details about each funding round are extracted
  4. A new row is added to Google Sheets for every new round found
What you get

Funding rounds you'd never have caught otherwise

New funding rounds in your target market get logged into a spreadsheet for you every day automatically.

What you get

A running Google Sheets log of new funding rounds in your target market.

What you need

A Crunchbase API account 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.
