Know who has new money, and who to email there

DryPowder is built only for founders in fundraising mode; Crunchbase and PitchBook are company intelligence tools built for analysts and sales teams that happen to include investors as a data type. Every DryPowder feature answers one question: which investors should I talk to this week, and how do I get in front of them? Deployment signals from SEC Form D filings and deal news, AI matching against fund thesis, direct partner emails.

Because LinkedIn and Google can't tell you which funds have written a check in the last 90 days, what check size they're writing right now, or whether their thesis fits your sector and stage. You can find fund names there, but piecing the rest together by hand means reading each fund's site, portfolio and filings. DryPowder tracks 552 funds, and AI matching ranks the ones that fit your startup, with specific talking points for each. The product pays for itself if it saves you from cold-emailing funds that aren't deploying or aren't a fit.

Yes, once you're ready to start outreach: you have a deck, a thesis, and you're actively running a process. If you're 2-3 months out, the fund database and signals are useful for building your target list and understanding fund timelines before you go live. If you're not raising for 6+ months, wait.

That depends on your outreach: DryPowder doesn't automate outreach, it makes your outreach smarter. The AI match tells you exactly how your startup fits a specific fund's thesis so you can write a cold email that leads with the right angle. Use it to tailor each message to the fund's thesis instead of sending the same deck to every fund. The contact data and signals are only as good as what you do with them.

Activity signals (fund closes, new investments, portfolio announcements) update daily, and partner emails are verified on reveal. Fund profiles are built from SEC Form D filings, fund websites and deal news. If a revealed address bounces, you get a credit back and we flag it for re-verification. Every field has a confidence score so you know what's solid versus what needs an independent check.

Flag it directly from any fund profile. Flags go to the DryPowder team, who review them and correct the record. Thesis and check size fields also show a confidence score, so you can see which values need an independent check.

Starter ($39/mo, or $29/mo billed annually) gives you the full database, the signals feed for the last 30 days, email alerts on up to 10 funds you follow, the fresh capital filter, 10 email reveals and 3 AI matches per month. Signal ($99/mo, or $79/mo billed annually) removes the caps: unlimited AI matching, unlimited email reveals and unlimited follows, plus full signal history, news headlines on fund profiles, approach angles, save to pipeline and CSV export. Raise ($199/mo, or $149/mo billed annually) adds CRM tools for founders running a serious process: status and notes per fund, and CSV export with every column. Most active fundraisers do well on Signal.
