About FundBat

What is FundBat?

FundBat is a free, open alternative to the paywalled funding databases that dominate the market. We provide transparent funding data about venture capital, startups, and technology companies, accessible to anyone without subscriptions or premium tiers.

Our goal is to make startup funding information freely available to founders, investors, journalists, researchers, and anyone curious about how companies are built and funded.

What you'll find here

• • Company profiles with key facts, founding teams, and status for dozens of technology companies across sectors like AI, fintech, SaaS, aerospace, and more.
• • Funding rounds with detailed histories from seed to late-stage, including amounts, valuations, dates, lead investors, and participating investors.
• • Investor profiles for venture capital firms, private equity funds, corporate investors, and angels, with their portfolio companies and investment activity.
• • Founder profiles for the people behind the companies, with roles and cross-links to the companies they built.

How we source data

Every funding round on FundBat is backed by verifiable sources: news articles, press releases, SEC filings, company announcements, and other publicly available information. We don't fabricate data or rely on estimates without disclosure.

Data is collected through a combination of manual research and AI-assisted discovery, then verified against multiple sources before being published. We track when each piece of data was added and how it was discovered for full transparency.

Why open?

Startup funding data shapes how people understand the technology industry: which sectors are growing, which companies are thriving, and where capital is flowing. We believe this information should be accessible to everyone, not locked behind expensive subscriptions.

A note on accuracy

We work hard to keep our data accurate, but funding information is inherently imperfect. Rounds may be reported differently by different sources, valuations are sometimes estimated, and details can change over time. If you spot an error, we'd appreciate hearing about it.
