A curated, verified dataset of 500 European startups — funding stage, sector, HQ, team size, recent signals. Built for VCs, corporate dev, analysts and founders who need deal-flow data without the €24k/year PitchBook lock-in.
Every record is a real, funded, active startup — not a stale Kaggle scrape. We verify funding stage, team size, sector and HQ, and we tag in-market signals so you know which companies are raising, hiring or expanding right now.
Pre-seed to Series C — with last round date and amount where public. Filter by stage to match your fund's thesis. No dead companies, no pre-launch ideas pretending to be startups.
Standardised sector taxonomy (SaaS, fintech, climate, healthtech, deeptech, B2B services…) plus sub-sector tags. Cross-filter to find, say, B2B SaaS scaleups in France raising Series A.
Headquarters location, country, and city. Coverage biased to Europe (FR, UK, DE, NL, ES, Nordics) with select US comparables. Expand your deal-flow map without a $24k subscription.
Headcount band, founder names, and founder LinkedIn URLs where public. Know whether a company is 3 people pre-seed or 80 people Series B before you reach out.
Tags: raising now, recent hiring spike, product launch, geographic expansion, exec hire, M&A signal. So you prioritise the 50 that matter this quarter, not the 500 in general.
CSV + JSON. Import to Affinity, HubSpot, Notion, Airtable or your internal deal-flow tracker in one click. Clean, deduplicated, normalised. Analyst-grade, not scraped.

Reddit r/venturecapital threads asking "who has the best data at the best price" prove it: analysts and corporate dev teams want qualified startup data without the PitchBook price tag. We filled the gap.
Public sources: funding announcements, press, LinkedIn, registry filings, accelerator alumni lists, public pitch decks, conference tracks. Every record is enriched and verified by hand — no scraping of private databases, no purchased lists. We assemble what's public but scattered into one clean dataset.
Yes. Crunchbase is broad and generic — it lists everyone, qualified or not. We curate 500 active, funded, in-market startups, add signals, and deliver a clean, analyst-ready dataset you own forever. Think of it as Crunchbase filtered by a human analyst who knows what deal teams actually look at.
