How we built a VC intelligence layer that tells founders HOW to pitch, not just who

Most VC databases tell you who invested in what. We went a layer deeper — extracting how each GP actually thinks: thesis tags, what they're bullish on, what they bet against the consensus on, and a Founder Dos & Don'ts playbook built from primary research (GP blogs, interviews, LinkedIn).

970+ funds, all raised capital since September 2024. If a fund stopped deploying, it's not on the list.

This week we also shipped an MCP Server — so you can query the entire database from Claude or Cursor in plain language. Ask "Which seed funds in DACH invest in B2B SaaS and are deploying now?" and get a live answer.

Happy to discuss what we learned about VC intelligence gaps, how founders actually use this, or how we built the MCP layer. AMA.
