The Investor Database provides a complete overview of 250,000+ VC funds, PE firms, angel investors, and more. The entire feed refreshes on a monthly basis, while the Funding Data specifically is updated weekly in line with the latest transactions taking place globally.
You can use this to search for named investors, filter for top-ranked firms in your areas of interest, and see how your peers and competitors are performing. You can also browse for Companies in their Portfolio, hone in on individual Investments, see all raised Funds, and check out which founders and companies they have recently shown interest in.
Investor Profiles
Each Investor profile contains the following pieces of information:
Overview - Summarises all key qualitative and quantitative information, including Description, Target Industries of focus, Funds Raised, Investments, those of which they were the Lead, and how many have Exited.
Rank and Highlights - Each Investor profile also shows a Rank, generated monthly based on elements of performance outlined in the Investor-specific Highlights we have developed (explained in more detail here).
Portfolio - An interactive list of companies that have received investment from the fund in question, which you can click on and view via Company Signals as well.
Investments - An interactive list showing each individual investment across one or several rounds by the investor in question. You can also see how much the companies raised in each respective round, which is connected to and can be visualised under the Financials section of the relevant Company Signal.
Funds - This surfaces the name of each fund by a given investment firm, including details on when it was announced, and how much was raised as part of the fund.
Strategic Signals - The integration with Strategic Signals (see separate guide for this here) allows you to see which companies and founders have most recently received interest from the investor in question, without needing to search for it again in the Strategic Intelligence feed.
Here are further details outlining how several of these sections are interconnected with other parts of the Specter platform, helping you to streamline your workflows even further.
