SendVC vs the investor-database competitors
Investor and private-company databases are research tools — the leading one lists individual plans at $49 a month billed annually or $99 billed monthly, and team plans from $199 — that show you which investors exist and what they have funded, whereas SendVC starts from your pitch deck, matches it against 5,000+ verified investor contacts and drafts a personalized email per investor for your approval, at $19–$99 per month; a database is the better pick if you want to research and send yourself, and SendVC if you want the research and the drafting done.

What Investor database actually is
The best-known investor and company databases sell access to private-company data: company profiles, funding and valuation insights, forecasts, AI-assisted search, saved lists and exports. The leading one lists its individual plan at $49 a month billed annually (shown as a first-year discount from $79) or $99 a month billed monthly.
Team plans start at $199 a month billed annually and add CRM and workflow integrations — Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier and Outreach are named — plus shared workflows and more exports. On the individual plan, exports are capped at 2,000 rows a month and lists at 100.
These are research and prospecting tools for people who will then do the outreach somewhere else. The plan page lists search, profiles, lists, exports and integrations; it does not list drafting or sending emails to the contacts you find.
When an investor database is the right pick
- You want to understand the market, not just reach it. Funding history, valuation estimates, competitors and who led which round are what these databases are built for.
- You already have an outreach process. If you write your own emails and send them from your own tools, a database gives you better data to feed that process and exports it as a list.
- You research companies beyond investors — competitors, acquirers, customers, hiring targets.
- You are a team that wants the data inside Salesforce, HubSpot or an outreach tool. The integrations on the team plans are aimed at exactly that.
When SendVC is the shorter path
- You want to go from deck to sent emails without assembling a list. You upload the deck; SendVC matches it against its investor database and drafts each email around the specific overlap.
- The writing is the bottleneck, not the data. A personalized email per investor is what gets replies, and it is what does not scale by hand past a few dozen.
- You want a fixed, cancellable cost. SendVC is flat per month, takes no commission, and each email goes out only after you approve it; replies land in your own inbox.
- You want it all in one place: investor matching, drafting and sending, without moving exports between tools.
Questions founders ask
Is an investor database or SendVC better for finding investors?
Neither universally. A database is the better research tool: deeper company and funding data and wider coverage. SendVC is the shorter path from a pitch deck to emails actually sent, because it matches, drafts and sends. If you will do the outreach yourself, use a database. If the outreach is the part you want taken off your hands, use SendVC.
Do investor databases send emails to investors for you?
The leading one's plan page does not list drafting or sending emails. It lists search, profiles, lists, exports and — on team plans — integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier and Outreach, so the emails would be sent from a separate tool.
How much does an investor database cost for a founder?
The leading one lists individual plans at $49 a month billed annually, shown as a first-year discount from $79, or $99 a month billed monthly, with team plans from $199 a month billed annually. Plans change; the figures here were read from the vendor's own plan page on 12 October 2026.
Can I use both?
Yes, and many founders do: a database to understand the landscape and pick the funds that matter most, SendVC to reach the much larger set of relevant investors with matched, personalized emails. They solve different halves of the same job.
