💼 Visible Connect Scraper - Startup Investor Database

Extract startup investors from Visible Connect, the free investor database by Visible with 19,000+ VCs, micro VCs, angel groups, accelerators, family offices and corporate funds. For each investor you get the name, logo, description, investment thesis, traction it wants, investor types, stages, focus sectors, tags, places it invests in, smallest, typical and largest check, recent fund size and close date, how often it leads rounds, co-invests and takes board seats, city, region, country, website, LinkedIn and X (Twitter). Each row also has its team (name, title, LinkedIn, X, photo) and its 50 newest funding rounds (company, website, amount, date, city, country, news article). Search with a keyword and 16 filters, or paste links, and run it on a schedule to get only new investors.

✨ What it does

• The whole database. Every investor on Visible Connect, or only those matching your keyword and filters.
• 16 filters. Countries, stages, focus, tags, places it invests in, investor types, check size range, recent fund size range, leads rounds, takes board seats, invested since a date, only verified, only with team, only filled profiles.
• Team and deals included. Every row has the investor's team and its 50 newest funding rounds, at no extra cost.
• Or paste links. Investor pages and searches copied from the site (with their filters). Filters are not used with links.
• Monitoring: run it on a schedule with Only new investors, and each run saves only the investors you haven't received yet.

⚙️ How the input is organised

Section	What it's for
Maximum results	Always first, caps the whole run. Empty means no limit.
What to scrape	Keyword, countries, stages, focus, tags, invests in and investor types.
Filters	Check size from (USD), check size to (USD), recent fund from (USD), recent fund to (USD), leads rounds, takes board seats, invested since, only verified, only with team and only filled profiles.
Monitoring	Only new investors and monitor name.
Links	Links instead of the fields above. Filters are ignored with links.

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event: a one-time $0.003 when the run starts, plus a price per investor saved to your dataset. The price depends on your Apify plan tier:

Plan	Per investor	Per 1,000 investors
Free	$0.018	$18
Bronze	$0.016	$16
Silver	$0.014	$14
Gold	$0.012	$12

The team and recent rounds are included in that price. Investors left out by filters are free. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit. On the Free plan, a run saves up to 10 investors.

🚀 Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Visible Connect Scraper.
3. Pick countries, stages and other filters (or keep them empty for the whole database), then click Start.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML from the Dataset tab.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the Apify MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client, then ask in plain words, for example: "Find Seed investors in Germany that focus on SaaS on Visible Connect, with their partners' LinkedIn pages". The agent runs this Actor and reads the results.

🔧 Troubleshooting

• The log shows more investors than were saved. The count in the log is the site's. Investor types, takes board seats, invested since, only with team and only filled profiles are checked by the Actor after reading, so fewer investors are kept.
• Many fields are empty. About 7,400 investors have a filled profile. The others list only a name, a website and their funding rounds. Use Only filled profiles to keep the filled ones.
• A country filter misses some investors. Many investors do not say where they are based. Try Invests in for the places they invest in.
• The check size filter keeps an investor outside my range. It keeps investors whose check range overlaps yours, like on the site: a fund writing $100,000 to $2,000,000 matches $500,000 to $5,000,000.
• An investor has more rounds than the list. roundsCount counts every round on record. The list keeps the 50 newest, so rows stay readable.

❓ FAQ

How many investors are there? 19,283 as of October 2026. About 7,400 have a filled profile, 4,200 list their team and 14,600 have funding rounds.

Which currency are amounts in? US dollars, like on the site. Check sizes, fund sizes and round amounts are plain numbers.

Can I pick several values? Yes. In each filter, investors matching any of the values you pick are kept. Different filters must all match.

Do I need a proxy? No.
