InvestorUniverse vs building a spreadsheet yourself
Most founders start with a spreadsheet of names. Here's what that costs you.
The spreadsheet approach
You copy names from blog posts and fund websites, then try to work out who does your stage and who's still active. It's free, but it takes time, and names copied from old posts can be out of date or a poor fit.
InvestorUniverse
We do that work in a couple of minutes. Investors are ranked against your company with reasons, using recent deals from announcements and Companies House filings. Your top 10 are free, and you can export the full 100 to your own spreadsheet.
Which to use
Keep your spreadsheet, and start it from a ranked list instead of a blank page.
