Post Description

Hi HN, Over the years I kept running into the same problem founders talk about constantly: finding the right investors is surprisingly difficult. Most tools are either extremely expensive (think $5k–$10k+/yr), focused on later-stage VCs, or filled with outdated contact info. Meanwhile early-stage founders still spend weeks digging through Twitter, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, spreadsheets, and random blog posts just trying to build a seed list. So I built AngelBacked. AngelBacked is a searchable database of 90,000+ angels and venture capital investors designed to make early-stage fundraising research much easier.

VC Scorecard score any startup or company in 60 seconds

Type a company name or website and the tool claims to auto-identify the startup, pull 50+ signals, map your investment thesis to a scoring model, and return strategic-fit, market and risk breakdowns in ~60s without signup. Smart triage UX — great for rapid deal screening — but the methodology and source weighting are opaque, so this feels like a useful first-pass tool rather than anything you’d stake capital on without follow-up.
