Timing. Relevance. Relationships.

Fundz is the only platform that reads more than a dozen real‑time signals all day, every day, so you know about new funding, new executives and new contracts within minutes of them happening, not days or weeks later like the databases you’re used to. It then combines the signals on each company, scores every company against what you offer, and weaves in your own network, so you discover new accounts first and work existing ones better.

Each morning you get the ones worth your time right now: who to reach, why now, and who you already know there. Now it answers in Claude too: ask for today’s leads, then write the note in the same window.

About

The British Business Bank is a government-owned development bank. Our mission is to make finance markets work effectively so smaller businesses can prosper, grow and build UK economic activity. We design, deliver and manage finance programmes for the UK government to increase the supply of finance to smaller businesses. We do not lend directly but work with over 180 delivery partners to address existing gaps in the market. Our programmes were supporting more than 92,000 companies with more than £8.1bn of finance at the end of December 2020. We have created a best-in-class Finance Hub to raise awareness of the finance options available to UK businesses. It offers independent, government-backed information and support for growing businesses. The British Business Bank is not authorised or regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) or the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Fundz sees it the moment British Business Bank raises, hires an exec or expands, usually minutes after it happens, and tells you who to reach.
