How to Build an Investor Outreach List with Claude
Build an investor outreach list with Claude and ToolRouter. Targeted VC and angel lists by stage and sector.
Tool
Claude builds a targeted investor outreach list through a structured research conversation. Run build_outreach_list with your stage, sector, and geography, then ask Claude to prioritise the results by signal strength — recent activity in your category, check size alignment, and portfolio company fit — before you start reaching out.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Investor Finder tool:
- Define your stage (pre-seed/seed/Series A), sector, and target geographies
- Ask: "Use investor-finder to build an outreach list for a seed-stage B2B SaaS company in London"
- Claude returns a list of investors matching your criteria
- Ask Claude to prioritise the list by investors with the strongest recent activity in your category
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Investor Finder tool
Use investor-finder to build an outreach list for my seed-stage climate tech startup based in Berlin. We are raising a €2M round. Find VCs and angels actively investing in climate and sustainability at seed stage in Europe. Prioritise by recency of investment in the sector and tell me the top 10 to reach out to first.
Tips
- Be specific about stage and check size so Claude can filter out investors who only do later-stage or micro-tickets
- Ask Claude to flag investors who have backed direct competitors — they are warm on the category but may have conflicts
- Use geography as a secondary filter — some European VCs have portfolio mandates that limit international deals
