Investor Database Search

Find the right investors for your round and get their partners' direct emails in one click. No scraping and no LinkedIn rate limits; a run finishes in seconds.

Search a curated investor database of 145,000+ VCs, angel investors, family offices, corporate VCs, accelerators and lenders by stage, industry, geography, check size and investor type. You get back a clean list of as many contacts as you ask for with names, emails, LinkedIn and website links, ready for your CRM, spreadsheet or outreach tool. Run it again next week and you only get people you have not received before.

The database's last full sync was August 6, 2026. Verify email addresses before a large campaign.

Built on Apify, so you also get scheduled runs, a REST API, webhooks and one-click export to CSV, Excel or JSON. Click Try for free to open it in Console. Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, which is exactly one full run of 100 investor contacts.

What data do you get for each investor contact?

One row per contact (a person), with their investor's full profile attached.

Field	Description
contactName	Person's full name. For angels, the investor themself
contactEmail	Direct email address (null for LinkedIn-only contacts and angels)
contactKind	firm-contact or angel
contactRank	Position of the person in the firm's team list (0 = listed first)
investorKey	Stable id of the investor, the same in every run
investorName	Firm or angel name
entityType	firm or angel
investorType	Venture Capital, Family Offices, Corporate Venture Capital, Angel Groups and more
description	Short profile: thesis, location, focus
stages	Investment stages, e.g. ["Seed Round", "Early stage VC"]
industries	Industry focus
geographies	Geographic focus, when declared
sweetSpot / sweetSpotUsd	Typical check size, as text and as a number
linkedinUrl, websiteUrl, twitterUrl, angellistUrl, facebookUrl	Social and web links
popular	Highly active, sought-after investor
freshCapital	Recently raised a new fund and is actively deploying
firmContactCount / firmEmailCount	How many people (and emails) the investor has on file in total
searchRank	Position in this run's results

How to find investors for your startup

1. Click Try for free to open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Pick your filters, for example stages: Seed Round, industries: FinTech, geographies: United States. Leave everything empty to get the 100 most relevant investor contacts with emails.
3. Optionally set Max contacts (empty means 100; enter 1,000 or 10,000 if you want a whole segment) and Max contacts per investor (default 3, so you get breadth across firms rather than 40 people from one fund).
4. Click Start. A 100-contact run finishes in seconds; 10,000 contacts take a minute or two.
5. Open the Contacts view to review, then Export as CSV, Excel or JSON, or fetch the dataset via the API.

Tips

• Want angels? Set Entity type to Angels only or Firms and angels and turn off Only contacts with an email. Angels have LinkedIn profiles but no email on file.
• Looking for a specific firm? Put its name in Look up specific investors and raise Max contacts per investor to get the whole team.
• Geography and check size are declared by a minority of investors. If a geography filter returns few results, use the Keywords box instead; it searches investor descriptions, which usually mention the city or country.
• Running several searches? Overlapping filters are fine. Every run skips the people you already received, so you are never billed for a contact twice. Turn on Forget my earlier runs if you want a fresh copy of everything.
• Asked for more than exist? You get every contact that matches and pay only for what you receive.

How much does it cost to get investor contacts?

One event, one price:

Event	When it fires	Price
contact-returned	Each contact row added to your dataset	$0.05

Worked examples

• A search that returns 100 contacts costs $5.00
• A search that returns 1,000 contacts costs $50.00
• A search that returns 20 contacts costs $1.00
• A search that returns 0 contacts costs $0.00

maxContacts is your spend control. Leave it empty and a run returns 100 contacts at most, so it never costs more than $5; Apify's free plan ($5/month) covers one such run. Contacts you already received in an earlier run are skipped and never billed again. Nothing is charged for compute; the search runs at minimal memory.

Use cases

• Find pre-seed climate investors before your next fundraising round.
• Find corporate AI investment teams and their named contacts.
• Research HealthTech family offices for partnership outreach.
• Look up a named investor's team to review its partners and contact details.

For larger CRM imports, raise maxContacts or run once per segment. Overlapping segments skip contacts already delivered to your account.

API and integrations

Run it from your own code with the Apify API. Swap in your token; the Actor id stays as written.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("capable_cauldron/investor-database-search").call(run_input={
    "stages": ["Seed Round"],
    "industries": ["FinTech"],
    "geographies": ["United States"],
    "maxContacts": 100,
})
for contact in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(contact["investorName"], contact["contactName"], contact["contactEmail"])

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_API_TOKEN>" });
const run = await client.actor("capable_cauldron/investor-database-search").call({
  stages: ["Seed Round"],
  industries: ["FinTech"],
  maxContacts: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

CLI

$echo '{"stages": ["Seed Round"], "industries": ["FinTech"]}' | apify call capable_cauldron/investor-database-search --silent --output-dataset

Connect results to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable, Slack, Make, Zapier or n8n from the Actor's Integrations tab, run it on a Schedule, or fire a webhook when a run finishes.

FAQ

Is it legal to use this investor data for outreach?

The data is business contact information for professional investors, compiled from public sources. You are responsible for complying with the anti-spam and data-protection laws that apply to you (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, PECR), including honoring opt-outs.

Where does the investor data come from?

From an investor database compiled from public sources: fund websites, regulatory filings, press announcements and professional profiles. Its last full sync was August 6, 2026.

Are the emails verified?

They are direct addresses on file for the named person. As with any contact database, a small share will bounce as people change firms. Run a verification step before large campaigns.

Why do angel investors have no email?

Individual angels are listed with their LinkedIn profile only. Firms come with named partners and their direct emails.

How many contacts can I get in one run?

As many as match your filters. The database holds 53,452 firm contacts with an email (about 37,700 of them are reachable at the default of 3 people per firm; raise Max contacts per investor for the rest), 61,505 firm contacts in total, and 172,849 once individual angels are included. Ask for more than match and you get everything that matches; you pay only for what you receive.

Will I be charged twice for the same contact?

No. The Actor keeps a record of every contact delivered to your Apify account and skips those people in later runs, even when the filters differ. If a firm you already have partners from matches again, you get its next people, not the same ones. Switch on Forget my earlier runs if you want a fresh copy of everything.

How is this different from scraping LinkedIn or Crunchbase?

No scraping happens at run time, so there are no rate limits to hit and no cookies to manage. The run finishes in seconds and returns emails, which LinkedIn never exposes.

Can I search the investor database with Python?

Yes. See the Python snippet under API and integrations. The apify-client package is on PyPI; pass the same input you would use in Console.
