Frequently asked questions
What exactly is in the database?
8,004 live US investment firms: VCs, angel groups, accelerators, corporate VCs, syndicates and more. Every firm has its website, LinkedIn, location, a description of what it invests in, investment stages and domains. Across those firms: 15,600 named decision-makers with their position, 12,240 personal LinkedIn profiles and 9,160 verified work emails. New in the latest version: investor category, team size, year founded, AUM from SEC ADV filings where available, and the most recent news headline about each firm with its source link.
How is the data collected and verified?
Every firm is checked by a person: the website is live, the firm has an active investing profile and the team is current. Work emails come from the firm's own website or are reconstructed and checked with strict SMTP verification that excludes catch-all and invalid addresses, then run through a second verification tool. Every quarter the whole database is re-checked: websites, emails, team size, AUM and the latest news on every firm.
Do you provide verified work emails?
Yes. The database holds 9,160 verified work emails of decision-makers, sourced in one of two ways: (1) published on the firm's own website, and therefore verified; or (2) reconstructed and checked with strict SMTP verification, disqualifying invalid and catch-all addresses, then run through a second verification pass with an external tool to bring bounce rates as close to zero as possible. Where a decision-maker has no verified email, you get their LinkedIn profile.
How fresh is the data?
Last update: October 2026. The database is refreshed every quarter: firms re-verified, emails re-checked, new firms added and the latest news on every firm updated. The portal always shows the current version.
How do I access the data?
Through the InvestorLists.vc portal. Search every firm with AI or classic filters, unlock verified decision-maker emails and LinkedIn profiles, save your lists, and export them as CSV into any CRM or outreach tool. Annual subscribers also get the InvestorLists agent: connect the database to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor (MCP) and it builds your shortlist, finds your way in to each firm and writes your investor messages.
What is the InvestorLists agent?
An AI fundraising agent for founders that works inside the AI you already use: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client. Type "Hi InvestorLists, let's get started." and it builds your raise profile from your website, deck or LinkedIn, shortlists investors batch by batch with a sourced reason for every firm, writes investor briefs, finds the path to connect, writes your investor messages and remembers every investor conversation. Every fact comes from the database with its source. Setup takes about a minute at investorlists.vc/ai.
Can I use it with AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. Add our MCP server (https://investorlists.vc/mcp) to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible tool, log in with your email, and ask in plain language, for example: seed-stage fintech investors in Texas that closed a fund this year. Every account can connect: the free account gets the onboarding, a preview of the top matching firms and 10 firm unlocks, Annual gets every skill of the agent and full results with verified emails and LinkedIn profiles, ready for outreach. Setup takes about one minute; see investorlists.vc/ai.
Which plans are there?

Is there a monthly plan?
There is one plan, Annual, so founders get the whole raise covered: the agent, every contact and every export for 12 months. To decide first, a free account lets you search the database and unlock 10 investors in full, with no time limit.
Can I see the data before buying?
Yes. Every preview page on this site shows real firms with working website links, and the free plan lets you search the full database and unlock 10 investors in full, with their decision-makers' verified emails and LinkedIn profiles. No card needed.
What is your refund policy?
Due to the digital nature of this product, we cannot offer refunds for a paid period. You can cancel in one click from the Billing tab at any time; your access continues until the end of the period you paid for, and nothing renews after that. We are confident you will not want a refund: the database has been reviewed with a combination of many tools, cross-reviews and a human team, plus many additional checks. We encourage you to use the free plan first and see the data for yourself.
Is this GDPR-compliant to use?
The database contains business contact information of investment professionals in their professional capacity. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, etc.) in how you use it, for example sending relevant, professional outreach with an opt-out.
