The problem it solves

Keeping track of who just raised funding means checking multiple news sources every day, which is easy to fall behind on. You end up with stale spreadsheets or missed opportunities to reach out while a deal is still fresh.

Who it fits

Investors, recruiters, and business development teams who track startup funding activity for leads.

How it works

  1. Once a day, the system checks Crunchbase for the newest funding rounds
  2. It filters out anything older than 30 days so only fresh deals remain
  3. Company, investors, funding amount, and industry details are pulled out
  4. The records are added to your Google Sheet
  5. The same records are saved in Airtable for structured tracking
What you get

Funded companies you spot before your competitors do

Every day you get a fresh list of newly funded startups, complete with investors and amounts, sitting in your spreadsheet.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet and database of recent funding rounds, ready for outreach or reporting.

What you need

A Crunchbase API subscription, a Google Sheets account, and an Airtable 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.
