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.

The company is developing a new central processor designed for data centers to meet growing demand for AI computing capacity.

About

Nuvacore is a six-month-old microchip startup backed by Sequoia Capital that is developing a new central processor designed for data centers to power AI applications. The company uses an unconventional design strategy that focuses on core functionality before committing to a specific architecture like x86 or Arm, optimizing for computations common in data centers and AI infrastructure. Founded by renowned engineers Gerard Williams (former Apple executive), John Bruno, and Ram Srinivasan, the startup aims to compete in the growing market for data center CPUs driven by demand for AI and chatbot applications.

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