Scrape investor data from funding databases, score leads based on investment criteria, and automatically populate your CRM with qualified prospects for fundraising.

Workflow Steps

1

Apify

Scrape investor databases

Use Apify's web scraping actors to extract investor data from platforms like Crunchbase, AngelList, or PitchBook. Configure scrapers to collect VC firm names, investment focus, check sizes, and portfolio companies.

2

Google Sheets

Consolidate investor data

Import the scraped data into Google Sheets and clean/standardize the information. Create columns for firm name, partners, investment stage, industry focus, geography, and recent investments.

3

ChatGPT

Score investment fit

Use ChatGPT to analyze each investor against your startup's profile (stage, industry, geography, funding needs). Generate a fit score (1-10) and explanation for why they're a good or poor match.

4

Zapier

Filter and enrich top prospects

Set up Zapier to automatically identify high-scoring investors (8+ fit score) and enrich their records with additional data like recent news, email addresses, and LinkedIn profiles using Clearbit or similar services.

5

HubSpot

Import to CRM with scoring

Automatically sync the scored and enriched investor data to HubSpot CRM. Create custom properties for fit score, investment focus, and last funding activity. Set up workflows to prioritize outreach to top prospects.
