Example brief: a seed-stage software company serving small retailers in Nigeria and the United Kingdom. Translate your own brief into a stage, sector, operating geography and target ticket size before browsing records.
- Start with the mandate. Compare the stated stage and sector with the business you are building and the round you are preparing.
- Check the investment geography. An investor’s headquarters and the countries it funds can differ. Review its current firm website for where it invests.
- Save records you can explain. Note a concrete reason for each investor’s fit in your fundraising brief, then review the available profile and contact details before outreach.
Download the shortlist worksheet to compare an illustrative mandate with your own brief. For more funding research, explore startup funding opportunities. Directory availability and contact details depend on the records currently available.

Common questions
How do I research investors for a startup operating across countries?
Start with the countries where your company operates and sells. Compare each investor’s stated geographic focus, funding stage, sector and typical ticket size. Check the original firm website for its current mandate rather than assuming that an investor’s headquarters describes every market it funds.
How can I narrow my investor search?
Compare investors by funding stage, sector, geography, and typical ticket size. Review the available focus and profile details, then keep a shortlist that fits the startup and round you are preparing.
Are individual investor records public?
Individual investor records are available through the signed-in investor discovery workspace with eligible account access. This public page explains how the directory works without publishing those private records.
What should I prepare before shortlisting investors?
Clarify your startup stage, sector, operating geography, and the size of the round you are preparing. Compare those details with each investor’s available focus and typical ticket size, then save the relevant records for further research.
