You can, and it is good at plenty. You also know where a stale database and a chat answer run out: old data, a different answer each time, and nobody to call. Here is what Fundz does instead, in four pictures and one new way to open a conversation.
See this week’s leads for your market. No credit card.
0 days is the median gap between a round being announced and its row appearing in Fundz (109 rounds, three markets, four-week test). Each morning the new events are scored against your market and handed to you as a short list.
Share of SEC Form D raises by US software-type companies surfaced, checked against EDGAR itself (137 filings over two weeks). The AI chat swung from 30% to 68% between weeks. It is quick on a short, specific list, but breadth is where it varied. And 37 of 40 randomly chosen Form D raises had no press release or news article at all.
Example only. The company and people are made up, built on the structure of a real Fundz lead, which fuses a dozen signal lanes on one company. In our four-week test, 40 to 55% of the funding rounds we served already carried a named senior contact (109 rounds), and contacts reveal on demand.
When you reach out from a lead, Fundz drafts the first note with Lead with a market gift switched on by default. It opens with a few recent events among companies close to theirs, such as competitors, likely customers and likely partners. Something useful about their market, before any pitch. It applies to the first note only, you can switch it off in the composer, and when Fundz has no strong signal for that company it falls back to a note built on the company’s own event and tells you.
“Saw you raised a round. Here is what we do.”
“Two companies near you in warehouse robotics filed new Form Ds this month, and one is hiring a VP Sales. Thought it was worth a look.”
Example wording only, with made-up details. And the lead card shows which of your own LinkedIn connections work at the company, so you can ask one of them for an introduction.
Last 30 days: 7,936 raw SEC Form D and funding news items parsed, 2,399 rounds served. Many Form Ds are filed by investment funds rather than operating companies, and Fundz holds those back by design, along with duplicates and wrong-company matches.
Tell us who you sell to. We show you the companies that fit this week, the signals behind each one and who to reach, then recommend a plan. No credit card.
How we measured. Form D: every original Form D filed 5 to 18 October 2026 by a US operating company in the Other Technology group with money sold, matched to EDGAR; one logged-in AI chat account with web search, one prompt per week, so a rerun could differ. Lag: Fundz row creation against announcement date, 21 September to 18 October 2026. Funnel: production counts, 30 days to 19 October 2026. The full method and every interval are on the proof page.
