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 thousands of 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.

Funded DB contains thousands of portfolio companies across a dozen-plus investor portfolios.

The largest sectors are B2B SaaS, consumer, fintech, healthcare, AI infrastructure and developer tools.
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.
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.
