Overview
Search by Deal Data enables granular filtering of companies based on detailed investor and funding information within a company search. Find companies by who invested, what role they played, and specific deal characteristics—all within a company search workflow.
Automate your deal reviews
Replace manual weekly/quarterly deal reviews with automated saved searches:
"Series A/B companies that raised last week where my tracked investors led the latest round"
"Seed companies in my sectors where co-investors participated in the last 30 days"
"Follow-on rounds led by firms in my network this quarter"
Set up these searches once, then get fresh results automatically as new deals happen—no more manual deal list reviews.
