I never thought we'd come this far with Angel Match.
We built the first version of the platform in 2019 while trying to solve our own fundraising problem.
Searching for investors manually and finding those who focus on investing in your niche can take weeks. Time that founders could spend on growing their business instead.
Most first time founders who are raising money face two problems:
1. They don't know where or how to find investors. Warm intros work best, but most founders don't have that type of network yet.
2. Searching for investors through LinkedIn, CrunchBase, X/Twitter, VC websites, angel group websites and random free investor spreadsheets can take hundreds of hours. Angel Match solves both of these problems.
You can search through our investor database using location, industry, stage and investor type filters to find thousands of relevant investors with their contact info.
Then you can connect your email with Angel Match and start your email outreach campaigns. You can also schedule follow-up emails. Once your email campaign is sent, you can track opens, clicks and replies and manage investor conversations all in one place.
Since our last Product Hunt launch over a year ago, we've improved the product a lot to make fundraising easier for founders.
Here's what changed in Angel Match 4.0:
- Investor Database grew from 110,000 to 125,000 angels and VCs
- Investor profiles became richer with more data points added
- Investor phone numbers are now separated into personal and mobile
- Many investor profiles have multiple emails now
- Verified emails grew from 70,000 to 99,000+
- Track investor opens, clicks and replies and communication history
- Added inbox, so you can directly reply to investors inside Angel Match
- Added follow-up email flows. Most replies happen in follow-up emails
- Added onboarding flows to make the app easier to use
- Added fundraising educational emails
- Added Investor Updates tool to help you keep your investors updated on the progress of your startup.
- And many more small improvements on the platform.
If you have any questions, feature suggestions or feedback, we'd love to hear them. Thanks for reading.

One thing that stands out is that you're reducing the cost of finding investors, but founders often struggle even more with deciding which investors are actually worth pursuing.
At some point, the quality of investor selection becomes a bigger advantage than the size of the database. Helping founders make better targeting decisions could end up being as valuable as helping them send more outreach.
