Ventur is the bridge between exceptional early-stage startups and forward-thinking investors. We’re streamlining the funding process to help groundbreaking ideas flourish. Join us in building a more supportive startup ecosystem!
Hi all!
As a founder who has navigated the startup world and the challenging funding cycle, I understand the massive pain of identifying and finding the right investors. Inspired by exceptional platforms like OpenVC, public databases, fund matching tools, and drawing from my own experiences founding other startups, I wanted to create something data-driven and highly personalised for founder-investor engagement.
Ventur offers a curated database of over 10,000+ investors, including VCs, angel investors, and private equity firms. Our long-term goal is to ensure that Ventur offers real-value to startups by connecting them directly with relevant investors and resources (no cold emails/outreach).
While we have a long way to go to fully realise this vision, I’ve utilised the resources and tools that have been invaluable in my startup journey over the years to curate this portal for you as our first step. 🤩
Here’s what Ventur offers:
• 🕵️♂️ Access to a comprehensive and growing investor database (10,000+)
• ✅ Curated essential startup resources
• 🚀 Enhanced startup visibility and direct investor intros (Future Roadmap)
We’re still in early alpha, and our database and platform are far from perfect. There’s a lot of data to clean and update, and we’re working hard to improve every day. It’s more comprehensive and organised than ever, but it’s a growing process.
I genuinely appreciate any feedback you can provide, whether on Product Hunt or through the feedback form on our platform. Your insights will help us continue to improve and build a tool that truly supports the startup community.
Thank you for your patience and support as we work towards our vision. ❤️
Great idea! Signed up to check it out. Also, just wanted to let you know that image assets stored on softr-files aren't loading — shows Access Denied when I open the image in a separate tab. Might want to look into that one.
@shrikrishna Thank you so much for signing up! We really appreciate you taking the time to check it out. We've noted the issue with the image assets and will look into it for the next update release. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! 🌟
@laocool Thank you so much for your kind words, German! ☘️ Here’s a glimpse of what we’re working on for the future:
1. Expanded Resource Library: We’re currently curating additional startup resources from high-quality sources. Our goal is to provide a more comprehensive collection of essential guides and tools to support your journey.
2. Funding Community: In our initial market research, we explored the concept of building a funding community. Although we decided to hold off on including it in this first release, we’re still evaluating its potential and looking forward to integrating this feature based on further validation and feedback.
3. Enhanced Visibility Features: A significant part of our long-term vision involves creating enhanced visibility tools. We’re developing a robust, data-driven model to help startups get in front of investors without relying on cold emails or traditional outreach methods. This will provide pre-vetted access to investors, cutting through the usual friction in the funding process. More to follow on this! 🚀
We appreciate your interest and support! If you have any more questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out. 😊
@william_jin Thank you! We first curate information from credible sources and then manually cross-check it with multiple databases to fill in any gaps. While our current database isn’t yet up to our vision’s standards, we’re actively working to improve its quality. We’re also implementing automation to speed up the process. It'll be alot more comprehensive in the next release once some of our existing processes get polished. 😊
@kenansamet Thank you for signing up and for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that Ventur turned out to be exactly what you were looking for. If you need any specific investor-based resources for your startup, let me know, and I'll be glad to give you access to some additional data we're working with that might be helpful for your raise. ☘️
Naish this is fantastic! I remember when you were in the conceptual stages of this start-up, it's amazing to see it now come to light to the public, for those who are looking to raise there is no better place to get support! Go VENTUR!
@aaron_reid5 Thanks, Aaron! It’s definitely come a long way from the drawing board, but these are some good early steps towards our vision of making startup investments more accessible and transparent. Above all, simplifying funding. 🚀
Whether you are in the early stages of your startup or looking to scale, Ventur provides the tools and resources needed to navigate the complex landscape of fundraising.
Looks nice. But I'm a bit confused about the region at the sign up. Is it where I live or where I look for Investors? In first case I couldn't sign up, because I live in switzerland.
Additionally, clicking at the Venture logo at the sign up page, leads you to an empty page.
@tobias_matt Thanks very much for giving Ventur a chance and for your feedback, Tobias. Apologies for the issue with the region selection. I’ve just pushed an immediate update to fix this. We’re working on enabling more region-specific support and resources, but it shouldn’t impact your investor search experience just yet. Please try signing up again through the “Rest of Europe” option that I've added, and it should work for you.
Also, thank you for reporting the bug with the Ventur logo. I’ve added this to our future release fix.
Much appreciated! 😊
Congrats Naish! Great product.
We are looking for investors in AI startup. I checked a few links and it looks like some of the investors are marked as they are interested in AI, but when you open their website the profile is completely different. In addition some links are broken (for instance "https://q1velocity.vclab.fund/ and https://startuproi.com" comes as one link).
Anyway it is very useful. Good luck and thank you for your hard work!
@vitalii_valkov Thank you for your detailed feedback! I’ve taken note of your comment. After we’re done sorting the launch data, I’ll personally follow up with you to ensure you get access to a comprehensive AI-specific investors list tailored to your fundraising requirements. You can also sign up for early access to Ventur Connect on the app, and we’ll speed up this process for free for your startup. Thanks again for your support! ☘️
