Venture capital is one of the least transparent industries someone can try to enter, sell into, or raise money from — most of what you need to know is scattered across LinkedIn posts, paywalled reports, and things people only tell you after you've already made the mistake. VC Radar started as a tool to help one person's own job search and grew into an attempt to put the useful parts of that knowledge in one place: a real directory, plain-language education, and honest, sourced numbers about how the industry actually works.
Students and first-time job seekers trying to break into VC. Founders trying to figure out who's actually worth pitching. Analysts, associates, and operators who want a sharper mental model of fund economics. Anyone who has ever nodded along when someone said "TVPI" without being fully sure what it meant.
The directory's 267 firms were compiled from public listings, firm websites, and web research. Each entry includes:
Investor Match results are generated locally in your browser using a transparent rule-based model that combines your inputs with the firm's published directory fields. They are directional research aids, not predictions. VC Radar does not fabricate firm information, statistics, or performance numbers anywhere on the site; anything not independently verifiable is either labeled illustrative or left as "Not available."
Have a correction? Firm details, especially contact emails, change often. If you spot something outdated, reach out via the LinkedIn link in the footer.
VC Radar is an independent educational and informational platform built by Abhishek Shekhar Jha. It is not:
Contact information shown for each firm is public information sourced from the web, not verified in real time. You are responsible for independently verifying any information before contacting a firm or relying on it in a financial decision. VC Radar and its creator accept no liability for outcomes arising from use of this site, including outdated contact details, non-responses, rejected applications or pitches, or any calculation produced by the tools section (which are illustrative and not financial advice).
VC Radar is a static, client-side website with no server of its own. The Investor Match tool reads uploaded files locally in your browser and calculates its results locally; it does not require an API or remote service. See the full Privacy Policy for details.
VC Radar exists to help you research investors, understand fit, and prepare properly — not to enable indiscriminate bulk outreach. Before contacting any firm in the directory, we encourage:
This philosophy — research, fit, preparation, personalization, then outreach — runs through the Founder Hub, the Directory, and the Playbooks section. VC Radar is not designed or intended to be used as a mass email list, and using it that way is inconsistent with our Terms of Use.
Directory entries use the following labels to be transparent about how confident we are in a given piece of information:
We do not mark information "Verified" by default — most current directory entries are "Public Source," which is a meaningfully weaker claim, and we want that distinction to be honest and visible.
VC firm details change — teams move, emails go stale, focus areas shift. If you spot something outdated or incorrect anywhere in the directory or on this site, please let us know via the LinkedIn link below. We review corrections but do not mark something "Verified" without independently confirming it first, and we may not always be able to action a removal request immediately — where there's a legitimate reason to keep public information visible, we'll explain that rather than silently ignoring the request.
