New: Fundz works inside Claude

Claude finds the news. Fundz finds who to call.

Ask Claude alone for this morning’s prospects and you get headlines, the same ones every competitor gets. Connect Fundz and the same prompt comes back as a list ranked against your ICP: who raised and is already hiring, who lost an executive, the right person at each company with a checked email, and who you already know there.

Fundz inside Claude: this week’s raises in your territory, straight into a Google Sheet

Everyone on your team already gets funding alerts. An alert is one signal, landing in an inbox, with no idea who you sell to. What a rep actually needs is a working list: the companies in their territory that raised this week, with everything else Fundz holds on each one fused in, scored to your ICP, and the person to call, in a sheet the team can sort and assign. Since October 6, 2026, Claude can write straight into Google Sheets (Anthropic’s Google Workspace connectors, in beta). Connect Fundz next to it and one prompt builds the sheet.

  1. Connect Fundz

    Add the Fundz connector in Claude, steps below. It is included with Pro and Strategic plans and runs as you, with your targeting.

  2. Turn on Google Sheets

    In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, and connect Google Sheets. On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, an owner enables it first.

  3. Paste a prompt

    Swap in your own territory and industry. Claude asks before it calls each tool the first time; choose Always allow and it stops asking.

“Find Series A and Series B rounds from the last 7 days in Texas, in Information Technology. For each company, pull the contacts Fundz holds and pick the person who owns sales. Put it in a new Google Sheet, one row per company.”

Where Fundz holds no email for the right person, the row says so, and you can ask Claude to spend a contact reveal on that company (150 a month on Pro, 600 on Strategic). The company link on each row opens the full record in Fundz, where, once you connect your network, Fundz shows who you already know there.

You already finish the work in Claude. Now it starts there too.

The research, the qualifying, the first draft. That part already happens in an AI tool. What did not move was the data: you looked signals up somewhere else and pasted them in. Connecting Fundz closes that gap. Claude queries your Fundz account directly, with your targeting, your saved filters and your entitlements, and then writes the email in the same breath.

This is the same advantage the rest of Fundz is built on. Anyone can generate an email now. What no chat model holds is what happened in your market this morning, stacked on each company and ranked against who you sell to. A connector does not make you faster at writing. It puts the right company, the reason and the person in the conversation where you already write.
Demo

A real morning with Fundz in Claude, start to finish

Two minutes on a real account: the daily leads, why the top one scored 91, what is moving in their buyers’ world, and the email drafted in Gmail. One conversation, no second tab.

2 min, real account. Daily leads, the reason behind each score, and the draft in Gmail.
Connect Fundz to ClaudeSee what you can ask

What you can ask

Every example below runs against a tool the connector actually exposes. These are not illustrations.

“Show me my daily leads, then tell me why the top one scored what it did.”
The whole scoring record, not just the number: match score and data confidence, buying stage, hiring and exec-hire forecasts, the modelled probabilities, and the signals that actually drove it. This is the reasoning the lead inbox shows, answered in a sentence.
“Before I pitch them, what is moving in their buyers’ world?”
Not what happened to the prospect, but what happened to the people who buy from the prospect. A company whose customers just seated new decision makers has a reason to talk to you, and you can open with the list instead of a pitch.
“Which companies in my daily leads raised a Series A this month?”
Reads your scored daily leads and cross-checks the funding feed, the two things you would otherwise open in separate tabs.
“Change my targeting to B2B fintech, 200 to 1,000 employees, US only.”
Rewrites your ICP from that sentence. No settings screen, no checkboxes, and every lead after it is scored against the new profile.
“Find VP Sales appointments at healthcare software companies in the last 30 days.”
A new VP Sales is a budget and a mandate. This is the search that finds them before the hire shows up on LinkedIn.
“Is Sequoia worth approaching, and how would we actually get in?”
Returns the real intake route with its source, not a guess: warm intro only, open application or scout programme. Then the deal record behind it.
“What changed on the sites I am watching this week?”
FundzWatch changes: pricing edits, new pages, quiet repositioning, summarised rather than diffed by hand.
“Tell me everything about Overfuel, then add them to my watchlist.”
One call returns the funding history with investors, the exec moves, the product launches and the SEC filings. The next one saves the company. Reading and acting, in the same breath.
“Show acquisitions over $50M in my industry since August.”
Every acquisition is a displaced incumbent and a re-opened vendor decision.
“Who do I call at these, and draft the email.”
Reads the contacts Fundz already holds, spends a reveal only where we hold none, then writes the outreach. The whole campaign without leaving the conversation.
“Draft outreach to the three best-fit companies in today’s leads.”
The point of the whole thing: the ranked company, the reason and the writing happen in one place.

Copy a prompt for your role

Tested in Claude and ChatGPT against your own targeting and leads. Copy one and paste it in.

Who should I reach out to today?
Pick my strongest lead today. Do I know anyone there? If not, who should I contact? Write me a two-line opener built on the event.
Write a short email to my top lead that opens with a market update from their peers instead of a pitch.
Which companies in [your state] raised money in the last 30 days and are hiring sales leaders? Give me the best 5 to sell to, with who to contact.
Which companies are opening or expanding offices in the [your city] area? Show the newest first with the date and source.
What changed at companies on my watchlist this week?

“Can’t I just ask an AI for recent funding rounds?”

You can, and it will answer. The film at the top of this page is that test, run live. It is worth being precise about what you get.

An answer everyone else can get is not an edge

Ask any model for last week’s rounds in your region and it returns the same list to you and to every competitor who asks. If everyone gets the same list, the list is not the advantage.

Fundz answers against your targeting, your saved filters and the accounts you already worked. That is not a list. It is your list.

A filing feed is one signal, and only when you look

Pulling from EDGAR works, and plenty of good operators do it. But a filing tells you money moved. It does not tell you a VP Sales started on Monday, that they just acquired a competitor, or that they opened a second office.

And one signal, fetched on its own, is a coincidence. The reason to call is the stack.

TuesdayRaised a Series A.
9 days agoHired a VP of Sales.
Last monthOpened a second office.

Any one of those is a reason to call. All three inside ten days is a company that is actually buying. One signal is a guess. Stacked signals, matched to who you sell to and delivered with the person to call, are a reason.

Connect it in about two minutes, no technical setup

You need an active Pro or Strategic plan. The connector reads the same entitlements as your account. Developers running it headless can send an fz_ API key as a Bearer token instead of signing in; contact support@fundz.net for one.

Prefer to watch? Every click below, with captions. Using ChatGPT? Here is the ChatGPT guide.

  1. Log in to Fundz first

    In the same browser you use for Claude, open app.fundz.net and make sure you are logged in. Claude uses that login in step 6.

  2. Open Connectors in Claude

    Go to claude.ai. In the left sidebar click Customize, then Connectors. (Connectors used to live in Settings; they moved.)

  3. Click Add, then fill in two boxes

    Click Add (top right), then Add custom connector. Type Fundz in Name and https://mcp-app.fundz.net in MCP server URL, exactly that, with nothing after .net. Click Continue.

    The Add button and its Add custom connector option, top right of ConnectorsName set to Fundz and MCP server URL set to https://mcp-app.fundz.net, then Continue

  4. Change two settings

    Claude pre-selects two options that do not work with Fundz. Change both:

    Authentication: choose Sign in now (not “No sign-in”, even though Claude marks it “Detected”).

    OAuth client: choose Register automatically (not “Use Claude’s published identity”, even though Claude marks it “Recommended”).

    Sign in now selected under Authentication and Register automatically selected under OAuth client

  5. Scroll down and click Add

    There is no Save button, and nothing saves on its own. The Add button is at the very bottom of the window, below “Request headers” and “Advanced”. Scroll down inside the window until you see it, then click it. If you close the window first, your choices are lost and you start again.

    The bottom of the window after scrolling, with the Add button highlighted

  6. Click Connect

    Fundz now appears in your connector list. Click Connect next to it and approve. The connector runs as you, with your own targeting, saved filters and plan. There is no key to copy and paste.

  7. Ask it something

    In any chat: “what are my daily leads today?”. It reads your real targeting, so the answer is yours, not a demo. The first time Claude uses each Fundz tool it asks your permission. Choose Always allow and it stops asking.

Your other tools are already in Claude. Fundz just joins them.

Fundz decides who to reach and why. It is not the sender. If your sequencer, CRM or inbox has a connector, Claude calls it in the same conversation. There is nothing to wire up between them.
