Overview
Investor Search enables targeted filtering of investors based on their investment activity, focus areas, firm characteristics, and more. Find potential co-investors, track competitor activity, and identify warm introduction paths, all within a dedicated investor search workflow.
Replace manual investor research with automated saved searches:
"Seed-stage investors in consumer products who made deals in the last 90 days and are not in my network"
"Series A investors who co-invested with Sequoia in the past year"
"Active fintech investors where I have connections through my network"
Set up these searches once, then get fresh results as investor activity changes.
How to use
1. Start with your research goal
Finding co-investors for your next deal
Tracking which VCs are active in your space
Building relationships with new investors
2. Build a targeted search e.g. for co-investment opportunities:
Set Latest investment date to past 90 days (shows current activity)
Choose your Entry stage (e.g., Series A)
Select relevant Sectors
Add HQ location if geography matters
3. Layer in network intelligence Once you have relevant active investors:
Check Network → "In my network" to see warm paths
Or select "Not in network" to find relationship gaps worth building
4. Refine with deal patterns Use Deals tab to get specific:
Co-invested with: Add a firm you respect to find their co-investment partners
Stage at time of investment: Match the rounds you typically do
5. Save and track Name your search (e.g., "Active Series A SaaS Investors - West Coast").
Understanding the data
Number of investments
This shows derived investment counts and excludes grants and other non-equity funding events. The total reflects only traditional equity investments made by the investor.
Focus areas
These are derived attributes that represent sectors or themes where an investor has meaningful activity—specifically, areas that apply to at least ⅓ of investments made by the investor in the past year. Focus areas help identify an investor's current priorities and investment thesis.
Finding specific investment instances
If you're looking for any instance where someone may have invested in a particular company or sector (even if it wasn't a focus area), use the Deals tab instead of focus area filters. The Deals tab captures all investment activity, while focus areas only show concentrated investment patterns.
