Fundraising that works: how I’ve made an elegant and affordable PE/VC investor database

My friend has created a database of investor contacts for those who are looking for funding. I'd like to let him present himself in front of the community. Please meet Felix and his Private Equity List: Hi, my name is Felix and I’ve been working as a financial consultant for 8+ years. I’m looking for potential investors for my clients who are mostly from non-US/EU regions. Usually, such popular databases as Crunchbase, CB Insights, DealRoom and Pitchbook are used (or just community-created investor lists) but users usually find a number of problems with these services: - Crunchbase is messy and has incomplete lists of investors from the Middle East, Africa as well as other exotic regions. - Google Sheets/ Airtable data is scattered and not fun to use. - Pitchbook, DealRoom and several other services are too expensive. That’s the reason we decided to create a user-friendly, simple and affordable platform for finding investors — https://privateequitylist.com. For over 3 years we’re working on a database that features PE, VC, angel investors and many other financing options in one place. Today, on the platform you can search among 6000 PE/VC funds, 1600 grants, accelerators and incubators and 23000 investor contacts. It’s easy to use and has a focus on the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Asia and other less popular investment regions. Ever tried finding all investment funds in Malaysia? There are 7 types of filters: fund country, industry and region focus, equality/minority support, stage of investment, investment ticket and investor type. Apart from more classic PE/VC funding, there are many alternative financing options: venture debt, SME financing, crowdfunding/crowdlending, revenue-based financing, SBA loans and ABL. PE/VC is not always the best option. Although many popular funds from the US and Europe are on the platform, Private Equity List tries to focus on small/mid-cap funds, which gives startups more chances to get less competition, get seen and ultimately receive the investment. We also put high attention to PE/VC in growing market segments such as AI, EdTech, blockchain, etc. The platform has a subscription model: $25 per month for full access to the database with detailed info about investors, and all their contacts (names, positions, e-mails and LinkedIn) are available for $79 per month. Subscribe soon as we will raise prices :) To navigate people in fundraising process we also make market maps of PE/VC funds in certain countries or industries, for example, an overview of PE/VC funds in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar with the list of funds shown on the picture.
