The problem it solves

Keeping track of which investors are active and where the money is moving means checking multiple sources by hand, over and over. That manual research eats into time you could spend actually building relationships or evaluating deals.

Who it fits

Venture scouts, founders, and business development teams who need up-to-date investor intelligence.

How it works

  1. Every day, the automation checks CrunchBase for the latest investor organizations and activity.
  2. The results are filtered down to investor-specific organizations and key metrics.
  3. New records are appended to a Google Sheet.
  4. You end up with a continuously updated investor database ready for analysis.
What you get

Investor data refreshed while you sleep

You get a continuously updated list of active investors and their latest moves in one spreadsheet.

What you get

A continuously growing Google Sheet log of investor organizations and activity.

What you need

A CrunchBase API account and a Google Workspace account for Sheets.

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.
