Hi all,
My name is Pavel and I’m the founder of a startup that finds investors for other startups. On one of my customer interviews, a founder of Cube.dev shared a hack on finding investors: find relevant startups in your industry first, then find their investors. He raised $26M with this trick.
This approach guarantees that all investors you find are relevant — they already invested in a similar company in the past. And it's 10x faster than searching for 300 investors you need in the 100k Crunchbase database.
I built a free tiny tool around this technique — the Investor Pipeline Speedrunner:
1/ We show you startups from your industry and stage.
2/ You select those that might have relevant investors.
3/ We email you a sheet with all investors of the companies you selected.
Everything is free forever: https://shizune.co/speedrunner
Let me know what you think! And happy speedrunning!
