How it works
Three steps from portfolio to your next product.
Most founders guess what investors want. The bets are already public. You just have to read the portfolios closely enough to see the pattern.
Find where the smart money is going.
Filter 16,000+ portfolio companies by sector, investor, batch, and status. Every result is a company a top VC or accelerator already wrote a check into — a market that cleared the highest bar of validation there is.
Read the thesis, find the gap.
Study the company's sectors, founders, and backers, then read the AI investment thesis and risk signals. What did the investors see? Where is the thesis crowded, and where is it still wide open? The gaps are your opening.
Build into the capital flow.
Ship into a market the best investors already validated — with sharper positioning, a wedge they underrated, or a segment their portfolio company ignored. The thesis is proven. You just execute the version that wins.
What a funded market looks like
Every company is a validated bet, decoded.
Sectors, founders, backers, batches, status, and an AI investment thesis. Each card is a market a top investor already bet on. Read enough of them and the wedge you should build becomes obvious.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Funded DB?
Funded DB is a searchable database of 17,000+ portfolio companies backed by the world's top VC firms and accelerators — Y Combinator, Techstars, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Sequoia, 500 Global, Lightspeed, Bessemer, NEA, Accel and more. Every company carries an AI investment analysis (sector, thesis, momentum, attractiveness), and you can browse, filter, or chat with the entire dataset to find validated markets to build into.
- Which VCs and accelerators does Funded DB cover?
Funded DB tracks 15 investor portfolios with data today, including Y Combinator (5,959 companies), Techstars (5,588), 500 Global (2,234), New Enterprise Associates, Accel, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, Antler, Sequoia Capital, First Round Capital, Insight Partners, General Catalyst, a16z and Index Ventures. The pipeline is modular, so new firms are added continuously.
- How many portfolio companies are in Funded DB?
Funded DB contains 17,000+ portfolio companies across 15 investor portfolios. Over 700 of them were backed by two or more firms (the strongest consensus bets), and nearly all have a full AI investment analysis. The largest sectors are B2B SaaS, consumer, fintech, healthcare, AI infrastructure and developer tools.
- Can I chat with the funding data?
Yes. The Funded DB research chat lets you query every company in plain English — pull any investor's portfolio, compare firms, tally the hottest sectors, run semantic search for a thesis, or deep-dive a single company. Every answer cites the companies it came from, and conversations are saved.
- How is Funded DB different from Crunchbase or PitchBook?
Crunchbase and PitchBook are deal-and-valuation trackers built for investors. Funded DB is built for founders and builders: instead of cap tables, it maps what the smartest money is actually funding by sector, surfaces the white space between crowded theses, and attaches an AI investment thesis to every company — so you can find a validated market and build the better version.
