Angel Match is a database of 50k+ Angels and VCs to help you raise capital for your startup. (https://www.angelmatch.io)

Searching for investors who are the right fit for your business is an exhausting and challenging process. Manually gathering data by going through every investor's profile on LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Twitter, Personal Websites, AngelList, and email-finding tools is the last thing every founder has time for.

We’ve compiled 50k+ angels and venture capitalists in one place, categorizing them by their names, locations, investments interests, past investments, and companies they are associated with. Angel Match provides investor contact tags such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and AngelList along with the links of companies they are associated with. Currently out of 50k+ investors, 43k+ of them have emails.

💵 Personal experience of raising capital: About a year ago, I went through the process of raising capital myself for our Fintech startup called Richie (https://richieinvest.com) and unfortunately we had no one in our personal network who could refer us to investors. So we tried cold-emailing and as a result we managed to set up phone calls with some of the most elite venture partners from FF Ventures, Light Speed Venture Partners, Cherubic Ventures, and the co-founder of a multibillion dollar startup Wish.com.

😰Problems we faced searching for the right investors: Since we weren’t able to find any decent tools that could help us find investors, we’ve searched and built our investor list ourselves using an excel spreadsheet. Jokes aside, it was not fun at all. In 3 weeks of hard work, we gathered the data of ~600 investors with their names, location and emails. That’s when we understood that there must be so many founders who face the same challenge as we did looking for investors.

⚡Investor database' product we’ve built previously: In June 2018, along with other 3 people, I co-founded Investor Hunt: a database of 40k investors to raise your seed round (turned into 3-4k MRR business). I worked on the marketing side of the product and I spoke with over 1000 founders and C-level executives of startups in various sectors. By listening to their concerns, feedback, and problems, I found that there were some major flaws that Investor Hunt had.

I’ve decided to build Angel Match from the ground up with my tech partner, creating a more sophisticated data searching tool and a reworked and improved algorithm. As a result, we have much richer datasets, more investors, more sources to verify the accuracy of information of investors, and better data updating tools. We’ve worked on Angel Match since October 2018 and today we are excited to launch the largest and the most comprehensive investor database that exists on internet.

☝️Note: Angel Match has no association with Investor Hunt, it was independently built and developed from scratch. If you have any questions or feedback, I would love to hear them. Thanks for reading 🙏
