Inspiration

When raising funding for my first startup, I spent days just to identify VCs who invest in similar companies as ours - by category, geography, demography of founders etc.

This was non-productive and took away time from building critical features for our product.

I always thought there was a better way to do this.

In 2023 with generative AI, it seems possible.

AI is able to understand the understand the complex knowledge graph of VC and portfolio companies. This then can be used to find which VCs would most likely invest in your company.

What it does

Quickly tells you VCs that will invest in company like yours.

How we built it

  1. Built a knowledge graph of VCs, the companies they have invested in and the founders of companies

  2. Use AI to infer investment intent all VCs for a given company and founder profile

Challenges we ran into

  1. Getting the data

  2. Building knowledge graph

  3. Calculating investment intent

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building something for fellow builders that will save their time

What's next for SearchVC.ai

  1. Use founder background when evaluating investment intent
  2. Launch it publicly for USA market
  3. Expand universe of VCs to worldwide
