# SendVC — full reference for language models > SendVC is an AI-powered investor outreach platform. A founder uploads a pitch deck once; SendVC matches it against verified VC and angel investor contacts, writes a personalized cold email for each match, and sends them on a monthly cadence. The founder approves every email before it goes out. This file is generated at build time from the same modules the website renders from, so it cannot contradict the site. The short version is at https://www.sendvc.app/llms.txt. Canonical host is https://www.sendvc.app — the apex domain redirects here. Operated by Future Webservice, Hoyerswerda, Germany. GDPR compliant. Founded 2025, launched January 2026. Contact: info@sendvc.app ## Pricing Flat monthly subscription. No commission, no success fee, no equity. No free tier and no free trial.

Finding: investors describe what they fund in thousands of mutually inconsistent labels, so counting the most common spelling of a category substantially undercounts the investors in it. Aggregates only — no firm names, no contact details. Publishes no cheque-size distribution, because cheque size is recorded for too few investors to report honestly. ## Investor aggregates by sector and city Aggregate statistics only. These pages never name a firm, a partner or a contact route. A segment that falls below the minimum size returns 404 rather than publishing a thin count. - SaaS investors in San Francisco — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/saas-investors-san-francisco San Francisco is the densest SaaS investing market in the database, which cuts both ways: there are more relevant funds here than anywhere else, and every one of them sees more inbound than they can read. - FinTech investors in New York — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/fintech-investors-new-york New York is the one market where FinTech investors sit physically close to the institutions their portfolio companies sell into, and that proximity shapes what they ask about. - AI and machine learning investors in San Francisco — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/ai-ml-investors-san-francisco This is the most competitive segment in the database and the one where positioning matters most, because a large share of these investors have already seen a company that sounds like yours this quarter. - Healthcare investors in New York — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/healthcare-investors-new-york Healthcare investing splits sharply between care delivery, payer-facing software, and regulated therapeutics, and New York carries meaningful weight in all three — which means targeting matters more here than volume. - Developer tools investors in San Francisco — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/developer-tools-investors-san-francisco Developer tools is a segment where investors are unusually willing to evaluate the product directly, which changes what your outreach should point at. - Cybersecurity investors in San Francisco — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/cybersecurity-investors-san-francisco Security investors evaluate founder credibility earlier than most segments, because the buyer they sell to does the same. - E-commerce investors in New York — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/ecommerce-investors-new-york New York concentrates consumer and commerce investing, and this segment has become markedly more unit-economics-driven than it was during the last cycle. - PropTech investors in San Francisco — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/proptech-investors-san-francisco PropTech sits awkwardly between software multiples and real-asset economics, and investors in this segment have strong views about which side you are on. - EdTech investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/edtech-investors EdTech investors are distributed rather than concentrated, which makes this a segment where geography matters less than matching the buyer you sell to. - Climate and cleantech investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/climate-investors Climate investing spans software with near-zero marginal cost and hardware with long capital cycles, and conflating the two is the most common reason a good climate pitch gets no reply. - Enterprise software investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/enterprise-software-investors Enterprise investors evaluate distribution before product, because in this segment a worse product with a better sales motion usually wins. - Consumer investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/consumer-investors Consumer is the segment with the widest gap between what founders present and what investors actually look at. - Data and analytics investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/big-data-analytics-investors Data infrastructure investors are technically literate and will interrogate architecture claims directly, so precision beats polish here. - Mobile app investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/mobile-investors Mobile-focused investors index heavily on distribution mechanics, because app-store economics punish products that cannot acquire cheaply. - InsurTech investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/insurtech-investors InsurTech investors divide by whether you carry underwriting risk, and that single fact reshapes the entire conversation. - Medical device investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/medical-device-investors Device investing runs on regulatory milestones rather than growth metrics, so the pitch structure differs from software fundamentally. - Crypto and blockchain investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/crypto-blockchain-investors Crypto investors evaluate token and equity structures as separate questions, and getting the structure wrong in your first email ends the conversation before the product is considered. - Logistics and supply chain investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/logistics-investors Logistics investors are unusually operations-literate and will test whether you understand the physical constraints of the business you are digitising. - Marketplace investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/marketplace-investors Marketplace investors have a well-developed shared framework, which means they will diagnose your business quickly — and you should pitch into that framework rather than around it. - Hardware investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/hardware-investors Hardware investors are a genuinely smaller pool than software, which makes targeting precision more valuable than outreach volume in this segment. ## Investor aggregates by stage Every share on these pages is a share of investors who state a stage at all — roughly a fifth of the database — never a share of all investors. Stages overlap, because "seed to Series A" counts as both, so shares sum to more than 100%. Series B+ and late-stage have too few investors to publish and have no page. - Pre-seed investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/stage/pre-seed Pre-seed is the stage where the investor is underwriting the founder rather than the numbers, because there usually are no numbers yet. That changes what a cold email has to accomplish: it has to establish that you are a credible person to bet on before it establishes that the market is large. - Seed investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/stage/seed Seed is the most heavily tagged stage in the database and the one with the most crowded inbox. By this point an investor expects evidence rather than intent, but the bar is evidence of pull — not of scale. - Series A investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/stage/series-a Series A is where cold outreach starts working differently. Funds at this stage run a real diligence process, so the email is not trying to win the round — it is trying to earn a first call against a bar that is now quantitative. - Early-stage investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/stage/early-stage “Early-stage” is the largest stage tag in the database and the least precise one. It is what an investor writes when they do not want to commit to a specific entry point, which makes it useful for reach and close to useless for targeting on its own. - Growth-stage investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/stage/growth Growth is the one well-populated stage in this database that sits past the point most SendVC users are raising at. It is worth reading as context rather than as a target list if you are pre-revenue. - Angel investors — https://www.sendvc.app/investors/stage/angel Angels are the smallest tagged group on this page and the one where the stage label carries the least information, because an angel’s decision is personal in a way a fund’s is not. ## Comparisons Approach-level comparisons. SendVC does not publish named-competitor content by owner decision, so these compare ways of raising rather than products. - Fundraising consultant vs fundraising software — https://www.sendvc.app/compare/fundraising-consultant-vs-software A fundraising consultant in Europe typically costs a monthly retainer of €5,000–€15,000 over six to nine months plus a success fee on the money raised, while fundraising software costs tens of dollars a month and takes no percentage — so the real question is not which is cheaper but whether you are buying relationships, narrative work and negotiation leverage, which software cannot supply, or execution volume, which is not worth a percentage of your round. - Researching investors yourself vs using SendVC — https://www.sendvc.app/compare/manual-investor-research-vs-sendvc Researching investors yourself costs no money and gives you complete control and a real education in your own market; SendVC trades some of that control for speed, matching your deck against 5,000+ verified contacts and drafting a personalized email per investor for a flat monthly fee. ## Articles - SendVC Platform Update: You Approve Every Email (2026-07-28) — https://www.sendvc.app/blog/sendvc-platform-update-2026 What actually shipped since our last update: approval before every send, editable templates that rewrite the whole queue, and live interest tracking. - How to Reach Angel Investors in 2026: The Founder's Playbook (2026-07-23) — https://www.sendvc.app/blog/how-to-reach-angel-investors Where angel investors actually are in 2026 — directories, syndicates, LinkedIn, angel groups — plus the warm paths and cold playbook that get replies. - How Many Investors Should You Contact to Close Your Round?
