Show IH: Investor Hunt is a database of 40k+ investors to raise your seed round (#1 on PH)
Hey guys! 👋
Investor Hunt is a categorized database of 40k+ angel investors and venture capitalists. 🤑
Figuring out which investors are likely to be interested in your project and how to get in direct contact with them is a nightmare. All this data is spread out, and finding it pushes you down a rabbit hole of AngelList, personal websites, Crunchbase, and VC fund portfolio pages. All this can take hundreds of hours of research––hours you could be using to actually close rounds.
For the last few years while we’ve been fundraising for different projects, we've built out spreadsheets of all the investors we’ve met with (and who we’d want to meet) complete with data like where to best contact them. Over the years, our private lists grew to over a thousand investors.
After building the data engineering tools to make Press Hunt and Howler possible, we realized it would make perfect sense to use them to grow our lists of investors into a comprehensive all-in-one database.
Investor Hunt is a simple SAAS product that aggregates the names, contact info, investment focuses, and past investments of the best investors in the world in one place. We’ve grown the list to 40k+ investors (~30k of them have emails, and the rest have alternative contact links like Twitter, LinkedIn, and AngelList).
The database is still very much a WIP––we’re constantly enriching data and adding new sources. We’ve been using this ourselves (and have a few beta users), and have found it really useful, and it’s now 10x bigger than other investor database alternatives.
Investor Hunt plans start at $69/mo, but we’ve made a special 50% off forever lifetime discount code for early adopters on Indie Hackers: ‘EARLY-IH’. This code expires this week. 🙂
We’d love feedback––thanks for the time 🙏

Nice work Matt! Just checked out your Twitter - "Building 24 indie businesses in 2018" - What?!?!? You are insane :)
Thanks! Yes that's the goal. 🚀 This is #8!
Shippers gonna ship 🚀
Are you full time independent Matt? If not I’m reevaluating my entire life.
I'm full-time, and I'm doing this all with a few friends
Can we follow that somewhere, like a blog?
Working on it! Will follow up when it's ready
Sounds great - is there a minimum period of time you have to subscribe or is it month to month?
Thanks @JDRehm! Nope, it's month-to-month, and you can canel anytime. 🙂
Cool product! Can't wait to try it out
I want to buy this but can't until I know your percent coverage on emails, phone numbers and twitter accounts
HI Matt,
Very useful resource; congratulation on the successful PH launch.
Would you mind us asking about your PH metrics? Assuming it's not confidential this would be useful to give an idea of what a successful launch can do promotion wise. I.e site visits, new customers etc..
We believe in open numbers! 2.6k sessions so far, >$1k in sales 🙂
I ran a similar project once based around journalists. How are you dealing with people wanting to get off the list - esp. with GDPR in place?
Awesome––we actually have a similar product to Investor Hunt called Press Hunt that is the same thing, but for journalists.
People who want to opt out of the database simply message us in Intercom, then we go into our database and delete their entry.
Correct me if I’m wrong, though my understanding is that GDPR does not apply to business to business data. Still the right thing to do though.
