The List of Lists: 44 Investor Lists
📧 WITH EMAILS:
- Filtered by Fund Type, Fund Stage, Focus, Location, Number of Investments, Number of Exits, Fund description, and Portfolio Companies

- also includes a sweet spot, e.g. “need growing revenues”, “need product”, “$1M ARR” etc.
- Filter by Type, Stage Focus, Sector Focus, Lead, and Actively Investing.
Some of the Lists do not provide emails, however, tools like Apollo.io can help with finding the right email. I also recommend using Claude.ai to help you sieve through the lists - it’s like ChatGPT, but you can upload csv files to help you analyze the lists.
The prompt I would use is the following:
“I’m building a B2B Fintech startup, I work with small enterprises (>200 employees) currently raising $500k Pre Seed. We are pre-revenue, female led, and got MVP 60% complete. Looking at the attached spreadsheet, tell me which investors are most suited for me to reach out to and state their First Names, Last Names, Emails, and Company Names in a table format that I can extract into a csv”

Shipshape is the VC Search Engine that I always use for scouting for my investor lists as it is perfect for finding investors by whichever keywords you put in - it lets you find individual investors at VC firms, portfolio companies and investment entities by the specific keyword you search for, e.g. “Robotics”, “FinTech”, “female-led”.
Their results compress the research time required to draw up a well-informed investor shortlist from 183 days to a matter of seconds, which massively improves your chances of getting a warm response to outreach.
Ship Shape is also free to use and I highly recommend it!
