BEIJING, CN – October 16, 2025 – SheetVenture today announced its expanded 2026 global investor coverage, tracking over 30,000 active VCs and private equity professionals across every major sector. This move solidifies its position as the largest and most accurate active investors list available to founders. By focusing only on investors who have recently deployed capital, SheetVenture replaces the broken startup investor database model with a live intelligence engine built for speed and results.
The traditional fundraising process is a chaotic, time-consuming grind. Founders are told to build a list of venture capital firms, but every resource—from expensive databases to free online lists—is outdated on arrival. This forces them to waste hundreds of hours sifting through a flawed venture capital database and a separate private equity database, only to end up with a high percentage of ghosts. These are investors who have gone inactive, shifted their investment thesis, or simply will not reply. This flawed system makes the mission to find investors for startup growth a frustrating numbers game that burns a company’s most valuable asset: time. Every week spent on a dead-end lead is a week that shortens the runway and kills momentum.
SheetVenture was built by founders to end this chaos. It delivers signal over noise by providing a single source of truth for fundraising. It is not another static startup funding database; it is a dynamic intelligence engine that monitors the private markets in real time. Instead of guessing who is active, founders know that every investor they target is currently writing checks. This transforms the fundraising process from a low-ROI chore into a strategic, data-driven mission. With its expanded 2026 coverage, the platform gives founders an even greater competitive edge.
The platform’s accuracy is driven by a powerful combination of real-time data and AI-powered intelligence. Its deal tracking gives founders a live view of where capital is flowing across industries, stages, and geographies. This allows them to spot emerging investment trends and align their pitch with proven investor interest—a capability impossible with a conventional list. This live market insight helps founders identify the top venture capital firms 2026 before they appear on year-end lists, giving them a critical advantage.
Furthermore, an AI-powered scoring system analyzes a startup’s profile—including its industry, business model, and funding stage—to intelligently rank the best-fit investors from the unified database. This enables founders to prioritize their outreach and focus their energy on the VCs and private equity firms most likely to engage and write a check. This level of intelligent filtering turns a massive, generic list of venture capital firms into a prioritized and actionable outreach plan. Founders no longer have to wonder who to contact first; the platform provides a clear roadmap from seed to scale.
Simplicity is central to the SheetVenture experience. Founders can filter their target investor list based on dozens of criteria—including check size, geography, and industry focus—and download it directly to a clean, organized spreadsheet in minutes. There are no locked-in CRM systems or complicated workflows. This empowers founders to build a hyper-targeted active investors list and integrate it into their existing outreach process immediately. By delivering this level of accuracy and real-time intelligence in a unified platform, SheetVenture is setting a new standard for modern fundraising.
