See who just raised, hired a CRO, or is expanding — get the verified contact and the outreach drafted from the signal, even by voice. Try it right now, on real data:
The right person, at the right company, at the right time, with the right message — and the hyperpersonalized follow-up sent for you, even by voice. Crunchbase tells you a company exists; Fundz tells you it just raised, hired a new CRO, or is expanding, hands you the verified contact, and drafts the outreach from the signal. Real-time intelligence and the tools to act on it, built for the individual rep who wants an edge.
Anyone can show you a signal. Only Fundz gives you this much real-time, verified signal in one view — and lets you act before the window closes, in one click, even by voice. Seeing the signal is table stakes. Acting first, this easily, is the edge.
Most reps cobble together LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and Google Alerts, then write outreach from scratch — and still find out late. Fundz watches the signals for you and hands you the contact and the opener.
manual, after the fact
real-time, with the next step ready
Most tools make you choose: monitor known accounts OR discover new ones. Fundz does both.
Upload your account list and track up to 500 companies. Get daily alerts the moment something changes — funding, hires, M&A, filings.
Fundz surfaces qualified accounts that match your ICP every day — companies you've never heard of, right when they show buying intent. (10 a day on Pro, 25 on Strategic.)
Most databases stop at funding. Fundz tracks the full set of buying signals — and matched to the accounts you care about. Funding, exec changes, and M&A alerts arrive instantly; the rest are verified and broad.
Series A through IPO. Know who just got capital to spend.
New CRO, VP Sales, CMO — decision-makers who need new vendors.
Acquisitions signal budget reallocation and new needs.
New products mean new tech stacks and service needs.
Partnership announcements reveal growth priorities.
8-K, 10-K, and proxy filings with actionable insights.
Companies with declining morale are in transition. That means new vendor evaluations, budget shifts, and decision-maker changes.
Not just new hires — clusters of exits and unfilled seats, detected from SEC 8-K filings. (Strategic)
Building-permit activity ahead of public lease announcements, where available. (Strategic)
Early distress signals that reshuffle budgets and vendors. (Strategic)
Filings that can flag a product launch months out, where available.
Data you won't find on any other platform — giving you an unfair advantage.
Track when target companies update pricing pages, add new product lines, or restructure their teams page.
Material events — leadership changes, acquisitions, asset sales — parsed and summarized, with real-time alerts filtered to the roles you care about.
When a company goes from 5 open roles to 50, that signals growth. Know which departments are expanding and when.
Your prospects get dozens of cold emails and LinkedIn DMs every week. They've learned to ignore all of it. The reps who are winning aren't sending more messages — they're sharing intelligence their prospects can't get elsewhere. When you reference a funding round they didn't know about or an M&A pattern that affects their business, you're not a salesperson anymore. You're a trusted resource.
Engage cross-references your LinkedIn connections against every live signal on Fundz — funding, M&A, exec hires, and more.
When someone you know is at a company showing a buying signal, Engage flags it and builds context — why now, what changed, and how you're connected.
A complete outreach sequence written in your voice, delivered to Slack every morning. No templates. No guessing. Just hit send.

Subject: Quick question about your sales stack
Hi Sarah, I'm reaching out because I noticed AcmeCorp is growing fast. Companies like yours typically struggle with [pain point]. We help companies like [competitor 1] and [competitor 2] solve this. Would you be open to a 15-minute call?
LinkedIn DM to Sarah Chen — 1st connection
Hey Sarah — congrats on the Series B, big milestone for the dev-tools space right now. I remember chatting at SaaStr last year about your scaling challenges. Now that the runway's in place, I'd love to share how teams in your spot have cut onboarding time post-raise. Worth a quick chat?
This isn't a hunch. Across independent studies, the same pattern holds: reach out off a real signal, reach out first, and the math swings hard in your favor.
Signal-based outreach replies at ~18% vs 3.43% generic cold — about 5× (Instantly 2026).
The first vendor a buyer engages after a trigger wins roughly 80% of the time (Forrester); first to act is 5× more likely to win (Growth List).
In our own signal-based outreach campaigns, 30–35% accepted the connection — well above generic cold norms.
Just-funded firms actively evaluate vendors for 60–90 days; 71% finalize within 90 days of the round (Jolly Marketer). They spend ~2× and hire ~2× faster.
Stack two to three signals on one account and reply rates climb to 25–40% (Instantly / Martal / Landbase).
Act on a trigger within 48 hours = 4× higher conversion; within 5 minutes = 21× more likely to convert (Salesmotion; HBR/MIT).
Signal-qualified leads also convert 47% better, land 43% larger deals, and close 38% more often (Landbase) — and 75% of 2025 B2B engagements now start from a signal trigger (Growth List). The first-mover premium is real, but it evaporates if you're late, and "late" is hours, not days. Fundz is built to collapse that signal-to-action gap.
Run your own numbers. If a signal lifts your reply rate ~5× and being first wins ~80% of the deal, the cost of working off stale lists isn't zero — it's every funded account a faster rep reaches before you, every 60–90-day window that closes while you're still researching by hand.
Close one deal you'd have otherwise missed and Fundz has paid for itself many times over. The expensive choice isn't the subscription — it's spending another quarter finding out late.
Anyone can pull a contact list. But those tools draw from the same recycled databases — a company name and a title, with no sense of timing. Fundz watches funding, exec changes, hiring, filings, and more in real time, verifies the signal, then hands you the verified contact and a drafted opener. It's not a bigger list — it's knowing who to reach today and why.

Verified signals across many lanes — funding, exec moves, M&A, hiring, filings, and more — matched to your ICP. No AI agent you wire together yourself has the verified, action-ready layer.
You probably already have ZoomInfo or Apollo for contacts. Keep them. Fundz isn't a contact database — it's the TIMING layer. It tells you when to call those contacts because something just happened at their company. That's the difference between a cold call and a warm conversation.
Google Alerts tells you "Company X in the news." Fundz tells you "Company X raised a new round + hired a VP Sales + their culture score is sliding + your connection Mark just posted about scaling challenges + here's a warm DM in your voice." Same company, completely different intelligence.
Some of my best deals have come from accounts I have found on Fundz. I consistently get updates before anywhere else.

Monthly or annual, cancel anytime on monthly. Personal onboarding included.
Real-time signals, AI briefings, SmartSend, Engage, and Talk to Fundz — everything an individual rep needs to act first.
Adds real-time 8-K alerts, predictions, exclusive distress/expansion signals, and the investor dataset.
Reach the account the moment it raises — before your pipeline goes cold and before your peers get there. Funding lists you buy go stale within weeks and the whole team works the same export; Fundz updates continuously, so the timing advantage is real. Just-funded firms actively evaluate vendors for 60–90 days and finalize 71% of them inside that window (Jolly Marketer) — and the first rep to act on the trigger wins roughly 80% of the time (Forrester). Get there first.
Fundz tracks new funding rounds in real time and lets you filter by industry, location, round size, and company size, so you can build a list of funded accounts that match your ICP and reach out while the budget is new.
Watch the signal continuously instead of buying a one-time list. Fundz monitors funding announcements, SEC filings, and press releases and surfaces each new round as it happens, with the context — hiring, executive changes, recent moves — that tells you whether it is a fit and when to reach out.
A fresh round means new budget, new headcount, and new initiatives — and a buyer who is actively spending. Reaching out early, before the company is saturated with vendor outreach, is one of the highest-intent windows in B2B sales.
Yes. Filter funded companies by industry, location, round size, and employee count so the feed matches your territory and ICP rather than every round everywhere.
Fundz ingests funding, SEC filings, hiring, and executive-change signals on an ongoing basis, so newly funded companies show up as the news breaks rather than weeks later. Funding, executive-change, and M&A alerts are delivered instantly, not on a delayed batch.
Yes. Alongside funding rounds, Fundz tracks executive appointments and departures and job postings, so a new round is just one of several buying signals you can act on.
Crunchbase tells you a company exists. Fundz tells you that company just raised funding, hired a new CRO, and shows the verified contacts to reach — then drafts the outreach from those signals. It is an advisor engine, not a search engine: instant alerts rather than delayed, an overnight AI briefing on your accounts, ICP-ranked contacts, and email built from each contact’s role and every real-time signal on their company.
ZoomInfo is a contact database built for breadth. Fundz is the timing and intelligence layer that sits above your contact data: it tells you WHEN an account is in-market — a new round, an executive change, a hiring surge — and gives you verified contacts and a signal-grounded reason to reach out now. Keep your database; Fundz tells you who to call today and why.
Executive hires and departures, M&A and acquisitions, hiring surges, leadership shakeups detected from SEC 8-K filings, office-expansion signals ahead of public lease announcements, WARN Act layoff filings, and trademark filings that can signal a product launch months out — all matched to the accounts you care about, and most of them not tracked by traditional company databases.
Yes. SmartSend drafts emails built from each contact’s role and every real-time signal on their company — sent from your own inbox, capped at three touches, and it stops automatically when they reply. It is grounded in what is actually happening at the account, not a generic template blast.
An individual account executive can use Fundz on their own to get an edge — no team purchase required. Reps find newly funded accounts in their territory, get alerted the moment a signal fires, and reach out first while the budget is fresh.
Every day without Fundz, the signal fires and someone else reaches the account first. Be the rep who's already there.
