A Family Office Directory for Founders

I just launched https://familyoffices.investinglists.com/firms

A new directory built by a founder, for founders — to help entrepreneurs connect with family offices that actually invest in startups.

🧩 The Problem
If you’ve ever tried to raise money for a non-obvious idea — a hardware startup, deep tech, or just something outside the standard SaaS playbook — you’ve probably heard “this is too early,” “not our thesis,” or worse: nothing at all.

Family offices can be a great source of capital for these ideas. They often invest based on personal conviction, are less bound by institutional mandates, and genuinely back founders they believe in.

But finding them? It’s a mess.

LinkedIn is full of spammy lists and fake “LP finders.”

Existing databases (if you can access them) lump everything together, with no signal on who's active, or even real.

Outreach is a crapshoot — and most founders give up before they get through.

🛠️ The Solution
I built a clean, lightweight directory of verified family offices, searchable by geography, investment type, and industry. It’s designed specifically for early-stage founders who want real leads, not dead ends.

No fluff. No scraped junk. Just real firms, updated regularly, with better signal than anything else out there.

💡 Why I Built This
I’m an entrepreneur at heart — and I’ve felt the pain of chasing capital that wasn’t a fit. This is a tool I’m building for my people: the scrappy builders, misfits, and outsiders who are doing something interesting and need aligned capital to get it off the ground.
