Whisper List - The World's First Ranking of VCs by Network Strength
by•
VC rankings always focus on money - who returned the most, who invested the most, who has the most.
But founders care about something else entirely, something supremely simple: can you help them build a billion dollar business?
Introducing the Whisper List, the world's first ranking of VCs by the strength of their network. Discover which investors are connected where it counts - so you can see who can actually help you win.

This is actually valuable and motivating!! Working with VCs should be like love, both sides need to know about the other. Pushing our products hard to use this asap ;)

Super interesting, definitely useful for newer teams like Floqer. Do you guys have a product roadmap public? Would love to check it out and I'm gonna sign up!

@shivam_mahajan1 It's not public, but that's a great idea! Maybe we'll even make it so people can upvote the features they want the most
Congratz on the launching. Warm intro is definitely important for fund raising. Are the ranking for whisper list base on Linkedin connections or is it something else?

@royybao Primarily on Linkedin connections, yep

This is a huge moment for the @draftboard team and for @zachary roseman! I remember early conversations about how frustrating it was for founders to guess which VCs truly had the connections to help them, beyond just writing a check. To see Whisper List now live, providing such clear and actionable insights into network strength, is incredibly validating. It's a reflection of countless hours of hard work, innovative thinking, and a shared belief in empowering founders with real transparency. So thrilled to celebrate this milestone with everyone who poured their heart into it.

Love it! Any plans to integrate with LinkedIn or other network data to keep rankings updated in real-time?
Super interesting approach! Does the ranking also factor in engagement quality like active vs. passive connections?
