Investor Scout

What Investor Scout is

Investor Scout is a web database for founders looking for funding, with more than 37,000 investors listed on its pricing page. Coverage includes angel investors, angel investing groups, venture capital funds, and private equity funds worldwide. Search filters include location, industry, assets under management, and minimum or maximum check size. Contact records can include email addresses, phone numbers, and office addresses, though some investor emails are not on record or are not publicly accessible. Founders can save prospects in dashboard lists and export contact information to CSV, which can be uploaded to email services such as Mixmax or Reply.io. The FAQ says the database began as a manually compiled list and later expanded with bots and other datasets; data improvements are made almost every day. Investment activity and portfolio company data are included. A free plan is available, alongside Startup at $149 a month, Premium at $299 a month, and Pro at $499 a month.
