Navigator investor search scans the global Crunchbase database of VCs and angels, and rank orders the ones which are most likely to invest in you based on what they've invested in previously. Cut down on hours of research through dozens of databases.

@juhaszhenderson Hi Matt, thanks for your comment. The key differentiation for the Search feature is the matching and ranking investors by fit based on the startup's location, category and fundraise target and comparing it with what the investors have invested in previously. When fundraising ourselves we found that combing through all the various databases was super useful, but the problem it created was how to research prioritise which investors you should be approaching.

Any way to filter by funding stage? diadem.one is focussing on early stage ones
Matthew Johnson
@aubreed Hi Amaury - not at the moment but improving the filtering of the results is certainly something we will be working on. In the meantime the proxy for stage is what your fundraise target is, so the search results will prioritise investors who invest in rounds in the range that you are targeting. Are there any other things you'd want to filter investor results by?

Thanks Greg - we currently run the model only on Crunchbase data but are looking to add additional databases over time. Are you aware of any Oceania-focused databases similar to Crunchbase?
