Build an Investor Outreach List
Find venture capital firms and angel investors that match your stage, sector, and geography for a fundraising campaign.
Research Investor Portfolio Fit
Evaluate which investors are most aligned with your company by analyzing their investment focus and portfolio patterns.
Quick answer: Use the Investor Finder tool through ToolRouter to research investor portfolio fit directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolSending a cold email to a VC who has never touched your category is a waste of everyone's time. The best fundraising outreach targets investors where there is a clear thesis fit — they have backed similar companies, their stated focus matches your sector, and their current portfolio does not include a direct competitor.
The build_outreach_list skill surfaces investors filtered by stage and sector, giving you a starting point for portfolio analysis. You can identify the investors who have already demonstrated conviction in your space and prioritise them for warm outreach through shared connections.
Founders doing pre-fundraise research, advisors helping portfolio companies prepare for their next round, and accelerators building investor relationships all use this to move from a long list of possible investors to a short list of probable fits.

Claude investigates investor-company fit through a multi-step research conversation. Build an initial list by sector and stage, then ask Claude to assess fit signals — which investors have the most relevant portfolio history, who has a stated thesis that matches your positioning, and who you should prioritise for warm outreach versus cold email.
How to research investor portfolio fit
Once connected (see setup above), use the Investor Finder tool — the same steps work with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, OpenClaw, and any MCP client:
- Describe your company, sector, and funding stage clearly
- Ask: "Use investor-finder to find investors in [sector] at [stage] in [geography]"
- Claude returns a matching investor list
- Ask Claude to assess which investors have the strongest thesis fit and which to prioritise for outreach
Example prompt
Try this with the Investor Finder tool
My company is a Series A B2B marketplace for construction materials in Europe. Use investor-finder to find VCs and growth investors who have backed B2B marketplaces, construction tech, or industrial supply chain companies at Series A in Europe. Rank them by portfolio fit and tell me which to prioritise for warm outreach.
Tips
- Frame your company description in terms of category, business model, and customer type to improve fit matching
- Ask Claude to flag investors who have backed direct competitors — thesis fit is high but conflict risk exists
- Prioritise investors where you can identify a portfolio company connection for a warm introduction
