Choose the platform you are switching from
- Crunchbase alternatives →Crunchbase covers private companies of every stage and industry for investors, sales teams and analysts. Founders raising pre-seed or seed often want a narrower list: the funds that just raised, with the partner to contact.
- PitchBook alternatives →PitchBook publishes no price list and sells through a quote; customers report $12,000–$13,500 a year for one seat. Founders who need 20 well-matched seed investors this week usually want something they can start today.
- AngelList / Wellfound alternatives →AngelList today is fund administration for fund managers, and Wellfound is its jobs platform. Neither is a list of institutional seed funds ranked by who is deploying now.
