AI-first access
Your fundraising agent, inside the AI you already use
The InvestorLists agent is an AI fundraising agent for founders: it shortlists investors, finds your way in and writes your outreach. Use the investor database inside Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor (MCP): connect once, then ask in plain language: "seed-stage fintech investors in New York for a payroll startup". Every answer comes from our person-checked database of US VC firms and startup investors, with decision-makers, verified work emails, LinkedIn profiles, investment focus, team size, AUM and the latest news on each firm.

Once connected, type: Hi InvestorLists, let's get started. InvestorLists introduces itself, asks for your website, deck or LinkedIn, drafts your raise profile, and finds the investors that fit your round.
What you can ask
- "Hi InvestorLists, let's get started."
- "Find pre-seed and seed investors in Texas that back B2B SaaS, and tell me why each one fits my startup."
- "Which climate-tech VCs in California have a team of 11 to 50 and news from the last year?"
- "Show me the partners at [firm] and reveal the verified email of the one who leads fintech."
- "Build a list of 20 healthcare investors for a Series A in Boston and export my saved list."
- "What does my plan include right now?"

Good to know
Is my account safe inside the AI tool?
The AI tool never sees your password or your email code. It receives a token scoped to the investor database, which you can revoke any time by disconnecting the tool or from the portal. Each token expires on its own.
Can the AI invent contacts?
Every result comes straight from the database. Masked contacts stay masked until you unlock them, and our server tells the AI never to guess hidden details.
Which AI tools work?
Anything that speaks MCP over HTTP with OAuth: ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and many more. If your tool asks for an API key instead, Annual subscribers find one in the portal's MCP tab.
