How to Find Angel and VC Investors With the Fundable MCP
Published August 31, 2026 by Jacob Klionsky
If you are a founder looking to raise, finding the right investors and their contact info can take days of manual research. With the Fundable MCP connected to your AI assistant, you go from a blank screen to a personalized investor list, with emails and outreach context, in one session. Fundable is a real-time VC funding and startup data platform; MCP is how its data reaches your assistant.
What you need
- A Fundable account on Pro+, which includes MCP access and the credits to unlock emails.
- An MCP client: Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, with Fundable connected.
- Fundable's investor finder skill, and a link to your company site so the assistant can read your stage and what you do.
Find investors in four steps
1. Connect the Fundable MCP. In Fundable, open the integrations tab and copy your MCP setup link, https://mcp.tryfundable.ai. In your AI assistant, open the connector settings, add a new connector, paste it, and connect, then sign in to Fundable. Set the read tools to always allow, and leave email unlocks on approval, since those spend credits. Full setup is in the MCP post.
2. Run the investor finder skill. Ask the assistant to run the skill. It interviews you first: your stage, location, what your company does, the investor types you want (angels, firms, or specific partners), how many matches, how strict the fit should be, and any competitors to exclude. Add your site so it can read the rest.
3. Review the matched list. The assistant queries the dataset and returns firms, lead partners, and angels, each with why they fit and the deals behind the match, minus the competitors you excluded. Push back to widen or tighten the list.
4. Unlock emails and build a tracker. Approve the email unlocks, and the assistant builds an outreach tracker with each contact's LinkedIn, verified email, and a why-they-fit column you can use to personalize outreach.
Watch a founder do this end to end:
Prompts that work well once connected:
- Run the investor finder skill for my company.
- Which seed investors have backed AI infrastructure startups in the last 12 months?
- Widen the list to adjacent verticals, but exclude anyone who backed my competitors.
- Unlock emails for this shortlist and add them to a tracker.
Find your next investors by asking
Connect the Fundable MCP, describe your company, and leave the session with a matched investor list, verified emails, and an outreach tracker.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find investors for my startup with AI?
Connect a funding dataset to an AI assistant through MCP, describe your company and round, and ask for investors who back similar companies. The assistant filters by stage, sector, and portfolio, returns a shortlist with reasons, and can unlock emails for outreach.
Can I get investor emails through Fundable MCP?
Yes. After the list is built, the assistant unlocks verified emails for the contacts you choose. Each unlock spends credits, so it asks before running.
Do I need to code to find investors this way?
No. You connect the Fundable connector once, run the skill, and answer its questions in plain language.
What plan do I need?
MCP access and email credits are on Fundable Pro+.
How is this different from an investor database?
A database gives you filters to run yourself and stops at the list. MCP turns a description of your company into a shortlist, keeps the reason each investor fits, unlocks emails, and drops it all into a tracker you can act on.
