Frequently Asked Questions

Fundz is an AI-powered intelligence platform that helps you identify companies showing important business signals before your competitors notice. We track 400,000+ companies and investment funds and 50,000+ investors across 18 signal lanes, and deliver a fresh batch of your highest-potential opportunities every morning, ranked against the criteria you set.

Set your targeting preferences (2 minutes), and our AI scans thousands of companies for business signals filtered to your criteria. You’ll receive your first leads as early as the next morning at 9 AM EST. Rounds reach Fundz with a median lag of 0 days from the announcement in our latest 4-week test, and AI scoring puts the most relevant opportunities first.

Three reasons. (1) Real-time signals rather than stale records: rounds surface as they happen, not after the press release. (2) AI scoring that ranks every company against the criteria you set, so the list is yours rather than everyone’s. (3) The person, not just the company: every signal carries the decision-maker, and you can look up anyone else at that company without leaving the page. We are built for the next call you make, not for data completeness.

You can, and for rounds announced in a press release it is strong. In our 4-week test of 52 of them, a leading AI chat assistant surfaced 77% and Fundz 85%, and those intervals overlap, so we call it even. The gap shows up on raises that exist only in SEC filings: across two weeks of US software Form D filings (137 of them), AI chat named 47.4% and Fundz served 96.4%, and the chat’s weekly coverage swung from 29.7% to 68.3% while Fundz held between 94.6% and 98.4%. Why Fundz?

In our 4-week test (21 September to 18 October 2026, 109 served rounds across three markets) the median gap between a round being announced and its row appearing in Fundz was 0 days. Form D rounds are dated by their SEC filing date, which can follow the first sale by up to 15 days. We counted only rows that passed the quality gates and were actually served. See the proof

We publish it, with sample sizes, 95% intervals and limitations, audited monthly. In our own spot checks of 30 rows per lane as of 19 October 2026, served funding rounds were fully right 83% of the time (95% interval 66 to 93%), 8-K major events 100% (88.6 to 100%), executive changes 93% (79.6 to 97.3%) and product launches 87% (70.3 to 94.7%). Every lane, including the ones still below our own bar, is listed with its sample size on the public page and in the machine-readable endpoint. data.fundz.net · api.fundz.net/v1/data_quality

Yes. One connector inside Claude gives you daily leads scored to your targeting, full-text search of SEC filings, contacts and who you already know.

Yes. The REST API at api.fundz.net/v1 returns funding rounds, SEC filings, 8-K events, executive moves and contacts with the same quality gates as the app. Keyed endpoints need a Pro or Strategic seat, and a few keyless teaser endpoints return the top 5 of each cohort. There is also a metered Agent API for agents and SDR tooling, and an open accuracy endpoint. API references · Fundz API

In 6sense’s 2025 survey of about 4,000 B2B buyers, 94% ranked their shortlist before contacting sellers and 95% of winners were on the Day One shortlist. Gartner found that 73% of 632 B2B buyers actively avoid suppliers who send irrelevant outreach. Both are self-reported surveys, so read them as a pattern, not proof. Leading with a market gift, a short read on what is moving among the company’s neighbors, is our approach and not a proven lift, because we found no study that tests it. Why Fundz?

You can, and the weekend build is the easy part. In our own last 30 days, 7,936 raw funding items became 2,399 rows that passed our gates and were served, which is 30%, and the backend saw 755 commits. The page lays out the upkeep, an honest ladder from a weekend script to a team, and a head-to-head against AI chat. Build vs buy

We track 18 signal lanes, including funding rounds, executive changes, M&A activity, SEC filings and 8-K analysis, contract awards, agreements and partnerships, product launches, hiring surges, new incorporations, UCC lending activity and benefits-plan changes. All from proprietary data we have built and verified since 2015, not resold from a third-party feed.

Our AI analyzes thousands of data points considering signal strength, signal recency, signal combinations, and match to your criteria. It delivers a daily ranked list of your most relevant opportunities with buyer intent scores.

Yes, and in two ways. Every signal ships with the decision-maker and their verified email already attached, unlimited, on every paid plan. And on any company or event page you can look up the rest of the org: we search for everyone there, show you their names, titles and LinkedIn profiles at no charge, and you spend a credit only when you reveal someone’s email address. Pro includes 150 of those lookups a month and Strategic 600, which is far more than most people use.

Fundz has two self-serve plans (Pro and Strategic), plus Enterprise & Custom, and the rate never rises on renewal. Pro at $49/mo is the full intelligence workflow for one person: 500 tracked companies, daily briefings, CRM sync, Engage, SmartSend, Deep Dives and API access, with the decision-maker and their verified contact on every company that moves. Strategic at $99/mo adds the firm-grade data no sales tool carries: real-time 8-K alerts, predictive intelligence, benefits broker-of-record, lending and the full investor and RIA datasets. Enterprise & Custom is priced to your team: seats, API and MCP volume, data feeds, integration help and done-for-you outreach, set up on a short call. Pro and Strategic bill annually at those rates, quarterly at $79/mo and $149/mo, or monthly at $99/mo and $199/mo. See fundz.net/terms for full details. Prefer to see it live first?
