Stop Pitching to Dormant Funds.
Get Verified Venture Capital ICPs.

The "Zombi Fund" Problem

Why firmographic filters fail for capital sales.

A "VC Firm" could be a $10B fund like Sequoia or a guy who made $50k on Bitcoin and started a website. If you sell deal-flow software, fund admin services, or high-end CRM, you need the active funds.

You need to filter out the dormant entities and find the Active Investors with dry powder.

Anatomy of a High-Value VC Lead

In Venture Capital, the Portfolio is the product. A fund with multiple Unicorns or high-growth portcos has a massive budget for tools that help their founders scale.

We extract these "Capital Signals" to help you find the funds with the most influence.

Tech Fingerprints

  • CRM: Detection of Affinity, Salesforce, or Hubspot (Relationship focus).
  • Data: Usage of PitchBook, Crunchbase, or CB Insights APIs.
  • Back Office: Integration with Carta (Cap Table) or Fundwave.

Portfolio Signals

  • PortCo Count: >20 active investments indicates a mature fund.
  • Exits: Mentions of "Acquired by [Corp]" or "IPO" on the news page.
  • Dry Powder: SEC Form D filing match for recent fund raises.

Outreach Strategy: The "Value-Add" Play

If you sell a hiring tool, filter for VCs with >10 Seed-stage companies.
Pitch: "We help your portfolio companies build their first engineering teams 30% faster with pre-vetted talent..."

Verification: The "Activity" Check

We validate VCs by their recent deal volume.

  • News Page: Are they announcing new investments in 2024?
  • Team: Do they list "Principals" and "Associates" or just a single "Founder"?
  • Network: Do they have a "Platform Team" dedicated to helping founders?

This ensures you pitch to functioning investment firms, not dormant websites.
