You searched: "pitchbook alternative"
PitchBook is $20,000/year.
You just need investor emails.
PitchBook is incredible—if you're a PE firm doing market research. But if you're a founder who just needs to find and contact investors? There's a simpler path.
Why you're looking for an alternative
$20,000+ per year
PitchBook is priced for PE firms and investment banks—not early-stage founders bootstrapping their way to funding.
Built for institutional investors
Great for due diligence on companies. But if you're a founder looking for who to pitch? It's overkill.
Sales calls required
You can't even see pricing without talking to sales. When you're racing to raise, that's time you don't have.
Annual contracts only
Locked into a year-long commitment before you know if it even helps you find the right investors.
Here's the thing about PitchBook
It's genuinely excellent for what it does. Market sizing, deal flow analysis, LP research, competitive intelligence—all world-class.
But most founders don't need any of that. You need to answer one question:
"Who are the investors that fund startups like mine, and how do I reach them?"
That's what AngelBacked focuses on. Nothing more, nothing less.
What you actually need
A searchable database of active investors with the contact info to reach them directly.
- 58,000+ angel investors and VCs

- Filter by industry and location
- Verified email addresses and LinkedIn profiles
- Portfolio data so you can see what they've funded

Built for founders, not analysts
- Early-stage founders raising pre-seed to Series A
- Solo founders who need investor contacts, not market research
- Startups that can't justify enterprise software pricing
- Founders who want to start searching today, not next quarter
