What Fundz adds

Timing. Verified events (funding, executive moves, acquisitions, SEC filings, hiring, permits, layoffs) the day they happen, including private raises that only exist as an SEC filing.

Relevance. Every morning the companies that changed are ranked against what you sell and to whom, with the reason on each card and the person to reach.

Relationships. Who you already know at each company, from your own LinkedIn network, so the first touch can be warm.

  • SEC Form D raises are captured a median 3.9 minutes after SEC acceptance and live in the app at a median 6.4 minutes (n=4,333 filings, Jul 8 to Oct 6, 2026). The slowest tenth take about 8.5 hours.
  • Of 1,140 new Form D rounds in our Oct 2026 measurement, 994 had no press release in any source we monitor. Those raises exist only as a filing.
  • 82.7% of delivered leads matched the customer's own targeting across 25 paying accounts (Nov 2, 2026).
  • Connect your LinkedIn network once and each company in motion shows who you already know there. Connections are never contacted or shown to anyone else.
  • API access included in Pro and Strategic. Data licensing has published prices: $249, $999 and $1,499 a month, billed annually.
  • Monthly blind accuracy audit published with sample sizes and 95% intervals at data.fundz.net.

Measured figures carry their sample size and window. Our monthly accuracy audit is published at data.fundz.net.

Where Crunchbase is the right pick

  • You research companies, investors and deal history more than you prospect.
  • You need broad global private-company profiles and investor portfolios in one place.
  • Your team needs Crunchbase Business features such as CRM integrations, larger exports and SSO.
