Question 1

I already have Pitchbook — I don't need another tool.

Accepted Answer

Pitchbook is excellent for transaction data (~$12k–20k/yr). It does not give you: warm-intro paths through your LinkedIn network, employee sentiment signals, written DMs, reply playbooks, or daily Slack intelligence. Fundz is the outreach layer on top of Pitchbook, not a replacement. At $79/mo vs $1,000+/mo, it pays for itself if it saves you 15 minutes a week.

Question 2

I just use LinkedIn and Google — I don't need to pay.

Accepted Answer

"Free" tools cost you your most expensive asset: time. If you spend 6 hours a week researching at $500/hr, that's $12,000/mo of opportunity cost — and you're still missing signals LinkedIn doesn't surface (exec changes, funding, M&A, sentiment shifts). Fundz turns 6 hours into ~2 hours and catches what LinkedIn misses. The real question: is your time worth more than $8/hour?

Question 3

I'm just starting — I don't have revenue to justify this.

Accepted Answer

Fundz is built to help you land deals, not to be a cost you carry. One $10k deal it helps you close pays for years of Fundz. Start on a monthly plan or request a demo — no long-term commitment. If it doesn't earn its place in your first month, cancel.

Question 4

I already get enough warm intros.

Accepted Answer

Then you're ahead of most independent operators. But Fundz also tells you when the companies in your network need you (funding, exec change, sentiment drop), writes the DMs, and handles reply playbooks. Warm intros are the start — turning them into engagements is what Fundz solves past that point.

Question 5

I have too many tools already.

Accepted Answer

Fundz reduces your stack. Most customers cancel Crunchbase, Apollo, Owler, and Google Alerts after switching. You end up with fewer tools, not more.

Question 6

How do I know the signals are accurate?

Accepted Answer

We source from SEC filings, verified executive databases, employee sentiment APIs, and real-time funding announcements — not scraped data. Every signal is timestamped and cited. Click through to the source any time.

Question 7

What if my LinkedIn network is small?

Accepted Answer

Network Signals work better with a larger network. But the Signal Engine, Predictive Intelligence, Executive Contacts, and Daily Briefing work identically regardless of network size. You still get nearly all of the Intelligence capabilities plus full signal coverage.

Question 8

What if it doesn't work for my role?

Accepted Answer

Start on a monthly plan — no annual commitment required — or request a live demo first. If you don't see value in the first month, cancel. We'd rather you cancel fast than stay unhappy.

Will one extra deal pay for Fundz?
