DryPowder vs VC Data Platforms

Most founder-facing VC data tools fall into one of three categories: enterprise platforms priced for institutions (PitchBook, CB Insights, Dealroom), general-purpose research tools not built for the fundraising workflow (Crunchbase), or network platforms that don't cover institutional funds (AngelList). DryPowder is the only tool built specifically for early-stage founders — curated fund database, real-time signals, AI matching, partner emails, at a price that doesn't require a board approval.
