    Can't get into Signal? You don't need an invite.

    Signal by NFX is great if you can get in. But for most founders, the invite-only model is a blocker. Take control of your investor outreach instead.

    Sound familiar?

    Invite-only access

    Signal requires investor referrals or being part of specific accelerators. Most founders can't even get in.

    Algorithm-controlled matching

    You can't just search for investors. The platform decides who sees your profile based on their criteria.

    Passive approach

    Signal works on "inbound interest." But early-stage founders often need to do active outreach.

    No direct contact info

    Even if investors show interest, you're limited to in-platform messaging. No emails or LinkedIn.

    Take control of your fundraising outreach

    Instead of waiting for algorithm-based matches, search 58,000+ investors directly. Find who invests in your industry, get their contact info, and reach out on your terms.

    • No invite required—start searching immediately
    • Search by industry, stage, location, and check size
    • Get verified email addresses for direct outreach
    • See their portfolio and investment history
