## Get Up and Running in Four Steps

Whether you're raising a seed round or building an investor pipeline for a client, you can go from signup to a filtered investor shortlist in minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a free account">
    Go to [privateequitylist.com/register](https://privateequitylist.com/register) and sign up with your email, Google, or LinkedIn account. No credit card required for the Basic plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search for investors using filters or AI">
    Use the Investor Search page to filter by type, country, industry, investment stage, and ticket size — or ask PEL AI a plain-English question like *"early-stage SaaS investors in Europe."*
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review fund details and contacts">
    Click any investor card to see a full fund profile including thesis, portfolio, and a list of team contacts with roles and enrichment data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export your list to CSV">
    On the Pro+ plan, export up to 300 funds per month as a CSV to drop straight into your CRM or outreach workflow.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The free Basic plan gives you immediate access to investor search, PEL AI, and the New Funds Feed — no credit card needed. Upgrade to Pro+ or Lifetime Pro whenever you need deeper results, contact data, or CSV exports.
