Finding the right investor for your startup used to mean weeks of manual research, cold outreach, and dead ends. Private Equity List gives founders a faster path — search 7,900+ PE/VC investors globally, filter by your exact stage, industry, and target ticket size, and walk away with a shortlist of genuinely relevant contacts in minutes.

​
Match Investors to Your Round

Every filter on Private Equity List is designed around the way founders actually raise. You can narrow the full database by funding stage, sector, geography, and ticket size simultaneously — so every result you see is a fund that actually invests in companies like yours.
1

Sign up for a free account

Create your account at privateequitylist.com. The Basic plan is free and gives you immediate access to the investor database, filters, and the grants and accelerators directory.
2

Set the Stage filter to match your round

Select your current funding stage — Pre-seed, Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C, or Series C+ — to instantly exclude funds that don’t invest at your stage.
3

Set the Industry filter to your sector

Choose from 93 industries to surface investors with a thesis that matches your business. Sector-specific funds move faster and ask fewer basic questions.
4

Optionally set a Geography filter

Narrow results by country, state, or city if your raise is region-specific, or leave this open to discover international investors actively deploying into your market.
5

Set Ticket Size to match your target raise

Filter by ticket size from $1M up to $100M+ to ensure every fund you review can actually write the cheque you need.
6

Review investor profiles and contacts

Open each fund profile to review their investment thesis, portfolio, and direct contacts across 36,000+ investment team members.
7

Export your shortlist to CSV

On the Pro+ plan, export up to 300 funds per month to CSV and bring your shortlist into your CRM or outreach workflow.

​
Find Newly Launched Funds First

Check the New PE/VC Funds Feed to discover funds launched in the last 12 months. The feed tracks 490+ new funds and is updated weekly — newly launched funds are actively deploying their first capital and are often more responsive to cold outreach than established funds with full portfolios.

​
Search in Plain English from Your AI Assistant

Skip the filters entirely and connect the MCP Connector to Claude, ChatGPT, or your favourite AI client. Ask a query like “Series A fintech investors in Europe” or “pre-seed climate tech funds in Southeast Asia” and get a tailored list of matching investors instantly — no filter configuration required.

​
Don’t Overlook Non-Dilutive Funding

The grants, accelerators, and incubators directory is available on the free Basic plan. Before you take on equity, check whether a grant or accelerator programme fits your stage — many founders find non-dilutive funding that extends their runway before their first institutional round.
