How to Build an Investor Outreach List with ChatGPT
Build an investor outreach list with ChatGPT and ToolRouter. VC and angel lists for fundraising.
Tool
ChatGPT produces a formatted investor outreach list ready for a CRM or spreadsheet. Build the list by stage and sector, then ask ChatGPT to format it with columns for firm, focus, typical check size, and a notes field. The structured output replaces hours of manual Crunchbase research.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Investor Finder tool:
- Define your stage, sector, and geography
- Ask: "Use investor-finder to find VCs and angels investing in fintech at seed stage in the UK"
- ChatGPT returns a matching investor list
- Request: "Format this as a CRM-ready table with firm, focus, typical check, website, and a notes column"
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Investor Finder tool
Use investor-finder to find investors for a pre-seed healthtech startup in the US raising $1M. Focus on angels and micro-VCs active in digital health and medtech. Format the results as a table with investor name, type (angel/VC), focus area, typical check size, and website.
Tips
- Ask for a table format so you can paste directly into a fundraising CRM or spreadsheet
- Request a split between institutional VCs and angels so you can run parallel outreach tracks
- Ask ChatGPT to add a "notes" column so you can annotate each contact with introduction source or outreach status
