Filter the right investors
Find investors who match your stage, sector, geography, and check size.
OpenVC helps you target the right investors with multiple filters:
- Verticals: These are keywords that relate to the themes of investment such as fintech, SaaS, ecommerce, female founders, sustainability, etc. Type in anything and use the dropdown list to get relevant suggestions. The more keywords, the more accurate.
- Geography: This is the country where your company is incorporated. It does matter. Many investors will invest in US-based companies while very few will invest in Cuba or Iran. Just enter one value for the most accurate results.
- Stage: Investors usually talk about funding rounds, such as "seed" or "Series A". However, these terms are often blurry. At OpenVC, we prefer thinking in terms of company stage: idea, prototype, early revenue, scaling, growth, and pre-IPO.
- Round size: That's how much you're raising in total for the current round. For example, if you're raising a $2M seed round in total, that's the number.
OpenVC also provides advanced filters for Premium users:
- Solicitation: Filter investors who haven't received a lot of decks this week and increase your chances of being noticed.
- Outreach : Filter investors you can email directly via OpenVC ("Submit deck") or via your own email client ("Send email"), those who have an online form ("Online form"), and those who require a warm intro ("Intro preferred").
- Investor type: Filter among 10 investor types including solo angels, family offices, corporate VCs, and more.
- Investor HQ : That's where the investor has its headquarters. Use it to target investors with strong local footprint.
- Verified: Verified investors have signed up to OpenVC themselves and provided first-hand data. Non-verified investors have been assembled from public sources by OpenVC.
- Check size: Investors typically won't invest under or above a certain check size. You can filter it here.
- Lead: Select investors who always or sometimes lead rounds. This is helpful for larger priced rounds, but not so useful if you're raising with SAFE.
Once you run a search, results are ranked by fit. The best fit investors appear on top, so you can just work your way from top to bottom. Easy!
