For founders raising a round
Not a directory of every firm that ever existed. These are the 36 funds that wrote an actual cheque into a company like yours in the last 90 days.
Live data, not samples. No signup, no upload, and Fundz never contacts an investor for you.

As of September 12, 2026, Fundz tracked 36 investors that put money into Manufacturing & Industrial companies at seed stage in California within the previous 90 days. The list is built from funding rounds as they are reported, so a fund that stops investing drops off it without anyone editing a directory.

Every row is a real cheque, and the order is about you rather than about the firm.
A fund appears because it took part in a funding round in your sector inside the last 90 days — not because it says it invests in your sector. The row names the companies. If a firm goes quiet, it falls off on its own.
The fit number blends how many cheques into your space, how recently, whether they write rounds the size you're raising, and how reachable they are. A household name can sit below a fund you've never heard of — for your round, it probably should.
Debt financing, IPOs and secondaries are excluded, because you cannot pitch a seed round to a lender. Grants stay, because the NIH and NSF are real money for deeptech founders, and the row says what kind of funder it is.
Knowing the name is the easy half. This is the half that decides whether you get the meeting.
Undeterred Capital and its investment in Newlight are real and drawn from the live data above. The middle step is the part Fundz works out from your own connections once you upload them — it is shown blank here because we don’t know your network, and we will never guess at it.
Most venture firms take pitches through an introduction rather than an open application. So the question that actually matters is not “who invests in my space” — this page answers that — it’s how do I reach them without a cold email.
Inside Fundz, each firm carries the route we researched for it: whether it reads cold applications, runs a programme, or moves only on introductions. We name its investing partners. And if you upload your LinkedIn connections, we match them against the firm’s founders and co-investors to show which of your contacts reaches it.
We also say so when the answer is no. If none of your connections reaches a fund, we tell you plainly rather than inventing a path. And nothing is ever sent on your behalf — you choose who to approach.
Raise Capital is included in Fundz Strategic: the researched pitch route for each firm, its investing partners, and which of your own connections can introduce you.
Every row is counted from funding rounds we ingest and reconcile, not from a curated directory. A fund appears because it participated in a real round in this sector within the last 90 days, and the row shows how many rounds, how recently, and which companies.
Because the order is about the founder, not about the firm. The fit score blends how many cheques a fund wrote into your space, how recently, whether it writes rounds the size you are raising, and how reachable it is. A fund that typically does $200M rounds ranks below a smaller fund that does $2M rounds when $2M is what you are raising.
Debt financing, IPOs, post-IPO equity and secondary transactions are excluded, because a founder cannot pitch a seed round to a lender. Grants are kept, because bodies like the NIH and NSF are real, pursued money for deeptech and biotech founders, and the row is labelled so it is clear what kind of funder it is.
No to both. This page needs no signup and no file, and Fundz never contacts an investor on your behalf. Introduction paths are only calculated if you choose to upload your own LinkedIn connections inside the product, and the result is shown to you alone. You decide who to approach.
The way in. For each firm Fundz researches how it actually takes pitches, names its investing partners, and matches the firm against your own LinkedIn connections to show who can introduce you. This page shows which funds are active; the route to them is the paid part.
