Fundraising is undoubtedly challenging, and it’s not just due to the actual market conditions.

Before you can begin reaching out to investors, you must define your investor persona and identify where to find them.

As a result, I’d like to share six excellent and free resources that can help every startup find the right VCs:

1️⃣ OpenVC by Stéphane Nasser 斯德闻 – A free database of >5000 investors worldwide ready to browse.

2️⃣ shipshape.vc by Daniel Sawko – A free investor search engine, enabling founders to search investors and investments by topic.

3️⃣ vcsheet.com by Ali Rohde, Julian Shapiro and Mat Vogels – A free platform that helps early-stage founders identify the VCs that are the right fit for them.

4️⃣ findfunding.vc by Pascal Unger & the focal team – „The most accurate early-stage investor database in the making“.

5️⃣ theflywheel.vc by Fly Ventures – „The most accurate and carefully curated list of Active VCs in European Seed“.

6️⃣ Odin investor database by Patrick Ryan & Mary Lin – A free resource intended to help founders to discover and contact investors anywhere.
