Every recruiter in your niche gets the same funding alert the same morning, and the same hiring managers get the same pitch. Fundz brings more than a dozen signal types together on each of 200K+ companies (a new round, a new exec, open roles, acquisitions and more), ranks the company against the roles you place, and shows who you already know there. So you start the conversation while the hiring plan is still being written.
It's an intelligence edge, not a magic pipeline: Fundz puts the right companies, the reasons and the warm way in in front of you every morning. What you do with it is up to you.
The dedicated surface inside Fundz where staffing firms live. Every newly-funded US company is grouped at the org level and ranked by hiring intent, so you spend zero time deciding who to call next.
Seven questions a recruiter asks every day. Answered in one click each.

Every funded org gets an AI analyst note + probability distribution for next funding / exec hire / contract / acquisition, backtested over years of proprietary data.
Contacts in one tool, funding in another, job posts in a third, and ATS data from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee each in its own silo. Every recruiter sees the same pieces, and none of them tells you which company to call today or who you already know there.
Fundz brings funding, exec moves, open roles from 6 ATS / job-board systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee) and more together on each company, ranks the company against the roles you place, and shows who you already know there. Worth it alongside what you already use.
One subscription. One workflow. One daily briefing that tells you who, why, when, what to send, and what to hand your client.
Org-grouped intent feed ranks every funded company by a composite score that fuses funding, hiring velocity, exec change, employee sentiment, and ICP fit.
Full signal envelope: every active signal, recent funding, exec changes, employee sentiment trend, all open roles, and the drivers behind the intent score.
Comp benchmark places the posting against peer percentiles in our own dataset — same role, same size bucket, same industry. p25/p50/p75 markers on every role.
Suggested contacts surface the top decision-makers per org, scored against your buyer profile. Names, titles, fit ranking — already enriched, ready to outreach.
ML predictions surface probability of next funding, next exec hire, acquisition, or new contracts — with a timeframe estimate so you know when to lean in.
One-click Engage DM drafter (Strategic). Claude writes a subject and a tight 60-110 word DM that opens with the specific signal — no filler, no "hope this finds you well."
One-page client-ready intel brief on any role — funding context, hiring history, competitive landscape. Print or save as PDF and put it in front of your client.
Save your filter combinations as Mandates. Fundz runs them every Monday at 7am ET and emails the new matches — pre-scored against your ICP.
Track strategic accounts. The day a vacancy on your watchlist crosses 45 / 60 / 90 / 120 days open, you get an email as it happens: your recovery opening.
Whether you run a retained executive search firm, a contingent agency, an RPO operation, or a sector-specialized boutique, your clients share one thing: they grow fast and hire fast. Fundz shows you which companies in your niche are about to hire, why, and who you already know there.
C-suite and VP-level retained search. Funded companies restructure leadership after a round, and the firm with a warm path to the board or CEO gets the call.
Contingent placements across engineering, sales, finance, and ops. Win the engagement before the role hits the job boards, through someone you already know there.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing for high-growth startups. Fundz delivers the pipeline of newly-funded companies you should be embedded in next.
Healthtech, fintech, defense, climate, AI: recruiters with deep vertical expertise. See the funded companies in your sector that are about to hire, not the week the post goes live.
10-50 person firms competing against larger players. Fundz gives you the kind of account research larger search firms get from internal research teams, plus who you already know there.
Advisory and fractional CHRO firms. Fundz surfaces companies that just hit the inflection point where they need leadership infrastructure built fast.
A funding alert reaches every recruiter in your niche at once, so the hiring manager hears the same pitch ten times. When you see the raise, the new exec and the open roles together, and you know someone there, you're in a different conversation.
You're chasing yesterday's news.
You're early, with something real to say.
These are some of the signals Fundz brings together on each company. Any one of them alone is noise; together, on a company that fits the roles you place, they point to who needs a recruiting partner.
A fresh round is one of the strongest leading indicators that a company is about to scale headcount. Fundz puts the raise next to everything else happening at the company and ranks it against the roles you place, so you're early, not reacting to a public post.
When a company's open roles climb sharply, they're building a team fast. Fundz cross-references hiring velocity with funding and exec signals to surface companies actively scaling.
A new VP of Engineering means a new engineering team. A new CFO means new finance ops. Every C-suite or VP change is a structural reset that creates immediate staffing demand.
M&A creates immediate restructuring needs. And where we have it, office-expansion signals (building permits in major metros) hint at regional team builds before the lease is public. We surface both so you know who to talk to early.
Fundz front-loads the prospecting work for you. You wake up to a curated list of high-intent companies, decision-maker contacts, and a signal-grounded opener ready to preview and send.
A company in your ICP raises funding, hires a new exec, or spikes in hiring velocity. Fundz catches it the day it happens.
Daily Briefing analyzes the signal against your specific ICP — industry, size, geography, role types — and scores it for fit and urgency.
Decision-maker emails and LinkedIn profiles delivered with the signal. No separate enrichment subscription needed.
A signal-grounded email written from the contact's role and the live signal on their company — from your own inbox, up to 3 touches you preview and edit, and follow-ups stop when they reply on Outlook and wait for your OK on Gmail.
What sits behind each morning's short list: the companies about to hire, the reasons, the decision-maker, and who you already know there. Most of it in Pro, the rest in Strategic.
An AI analyst that works overnight on your watchlist. Each morning you get a curated brief with the companies you should reach out to today, ranked and explained.
Up to 25 companies a day, scored against YOUR ICP. Fundz learns which companies you close and gets smarter every week.

CEO, COO, Head of People, Head of Engineering — whoever owns the hiring decision is delivered with every signal.
See which companies just spiked their headcount or open requisitions. The clearest possible buying signal for staffing services.
One-click intelligence brief on any company: their funding history, recent leadership changes, growth pattern, and what their next 6 months look like.
Funding + hiring + exec change in the same week = active scaling. Fundz brings these together on each company and puts the ones that fit the roles you place at the top.
HubSpot and Salesforce integrations. CSV export for any other system. Keep your existing workflow — just add intelligence.
Monitor up to 100 strategic accounts. Get notified as they take a hiring action, not weeks later.
Spot companies with declining employee satisfaction — they're about to lose people and need your help filling roles. Declining WorkVibz culture scores predict attrition before it happens.
Not more alerts: the companies about to hire in your niche, who you already know there, and an opener worth sending while the hiring plan is still being written.
Each morning, the Fundz brief surfaces the companies in their niche showing the earliest hiring intent (a fresh round, a new exec, a hiring surge on the same company), ranked against the roles they place. They open the company, see the verified decision-maker and who they already know there, and let SmartSend draft an opener grounded in what actually happened.
The point isn't to automate the relationship — it's to start the conversation early, with something real to say.
Why Fundz vs. anything else
So hiring managers get the same AI-written pitch off the same funding alert. Fundz brings funding rounds, executive departures, WorkVibz culture shifts and more together on each company as they happen, then shows who you already know there. That is something to say that nobody else can.
A decade of structured signals across hundreds of thousands of companies, woven through your own network. No chat model can assemble that combination.
Candidate tools show you who's open to work. Fundz shows you which companies are ABOUT to need people, often before the job posting goes live, and who you already know there. Worth it alongside what you already use.
A news alert tells you "Company raised funding." Fundz tells you "Company raised, hiring velocity is climbing, a new CRO just started, and here's the decision-maker and a grounded opener." Same company, completely different intelligence.
For a recruiting firm, one new placement from a Fundz signal pays for the platform many times over.

one search pays for years of Fundz
One placement off a Fundz signal pays for years of the platform. The real question is whether you'd rather walk in warm to the companies about to hire, or hear about them after the search is already underway.
Choose the plan that fits your team. Every plan includes signals as they happen, ranked against your ICP, verified contacts, and SmartSend grounded outreach.
For growing recruiting firms
For recruiting teams that want every edge
You didn't start a recruiting firm to spend half your week on cold prospecting. Fundz handles the top of the funnel so you can focus on what actually grows the business.
Stop spending 10+ hours a week researching companies and hunting contacts. Wake up to a daily list — pre-scored, pre-enriched, pre-contacted.
Fundz delivers fresh, ICP-matched signals every day so your top-of-funnel never goes quiet — a steadier flow of the right companies to work.
Your recruiters should be on calls with qualified prospects, not building lists. Fundz turns sourcing into a non-issue so your team can close engagements.
Reach a funded company early — before they've narrowed it down to a shortlist of search firms. Get in front of the strategic accounts your competitors only hear about after the search is already underway.
A solo founder can run prospecting at the volume of a 5-person research team. Fundz scales your top-of-funnel capacity without adding salaries.
When you finally talk to a prospect, you already know their funding history, their recent exec hires, and their growth trajectory. You sound like a strategic partner, not a vendor.
Hiring Intel is the dedicated daily surface inside Fundz built for staffing firms. Instead of showing you postings (a job board), it shows you ORGS — every newly-funded US company, ranked by composite hiring intent that fuses funding, hiring velocity, exec change, employee sentiment, and ICP fit. From there, every question a recruiter asks daily — Why this org? Who do I call? What's a fair fee? What do I send? What do I hand my client? — is answered in one click. No other tool combines all of these data layers in a single workflow.
Both — and RPO and boutique sector specialists too. The common factor is being early to a hiring decision at a funded company. Retained-search customers tell us the predictive layer (which companies are about to replace a CMO/COO/CFO) is the highest-leverage feature. Contingent customers tell us it's the cross-signal scoring that surfaces the highest-intent accounts before the role hits LinkedIn. Different placement economics, same intelligence.
Yes, and arguably more. Retained search lives or dies on getting in front of the search committee at the right time. A funded company restructuring leadership is your highest-intent target. Fundz puts the round next to the leadership changes at the same company and shows who you already know there, so you're calling before they've started shopping search firms.
No. Fundz uses your ICP profile (industry, size, geography) to surface new companies daily that you'd never have found on your own. You can also add your own watchlist of strategic accounts to track in parallel.
SmartSend is signal-triggered, not blast-based. It only drafts outreach off a real event, writes to the contact's actual situation, sends from your own inbox, caps at 3 touches, and stops the instant they reply. You preview and edit every touch.
Yes. Seats are per-user at the same rate; add as many as your desk needs. Each seat has their own ICP, lead feed, and SmartSend — so a 5-person recruiting team gets 5 personalized pipelines.
Funding signals are verified and drawn broadly, as they happen. Where a round is auditable to a filing we link it; the goal is that you act on signals that hold up, not rumor. (Our SEC Form D firehose is the differentiated asset behind our investor and data products; for recruiters the win is breadth, freshness, and the contact plus outreach attached to each signal.)
Stop chasing posted reqs. Every morning: the companies about to hire, who you already know there, the verified contact, and a grounded opener.
Watch the signals that precede hiring: funding rounds, early hiring surges, new executive hires, M&A and office expansions. Fundz brings these together on each of 200K+ companies as they happen, ranks the company against the roles you place, shows who you already know there, and gives you the decision-maker contacts plus outreach, so you can reach a hiring manager often before the job is posted publicly.
A funding round is among the strongest leading indicators — newly funded companies typically convert capital into headcount within a quarter. New executive hires and early increases in a company’s own job postings are also reliable precursors.
Fundz brings funding, hiring-surge, executive-change and other signals together on each company, ranks the company against a firm’s placement focus, with verified decision-maker contacts and built-in outreach, so business development happens before the requisition is public.
