FAQ
If our FAQ has no answers to your inquiries,
just play with the website around some more.
It is very simple
Do you have the same data as PitchBook or Crunchbase?
For PE/VC investors — yes. Investor profiles worldwide, investment-team contacts, full CSV export, API and MCP access. The enterprise platforms cover more ground — LPs, debt, public equities, patents, market analytics — and charge for all of it. If your job is finding and contacting PE/VC investors, the data you need is here.
How much does it cost?
From $129 per month, up to $399 per month for the plan with full API access. The price is on our pricing page — you do not need a sales call to find out. PitchBook, CB Insights and Tracxn do not publish pricing at all, and enterprise budgets there start above $10,000 a year.
Do I need a demo or a sales call to start?
No. Sign up and explore the data straight away — basic access is free and no credit card is required. Every other database on this page puts a demo or a sales call in front of the data first.
Am I locked into an annual contract?
No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. A yearly plan is available at a discount if you want it, but nothing pushes you into it. Enterprise platforms are annual contracts by default.
How long until I have a usable investor list?
Minutes. Filter by country, stage, industry and ticket size, then export to CSV. No onboarding session, no training, no dedicated analyst needed.
Do you have API or MCP?
Yes. MCP integration is included in every paid plan, and full API access comes with Pro Max. MCP lets you query the database in plain language inside AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT. Everywhere else on this page API and MCP are sales-call only.
