Four generations of go-to-market data, and why the first three stopped separating you.
Fundz doesn't replace these tools. It makes them useful.
"Here are 10,000 companies that match your filters."
Static databases. No timing. No context.
"Someone at Company X visited a page about CRM."
Anonymous. Noisy. Expensive.
"Company X just raised $20M."
Single signal. No synthesis. Same alert to everyone.
"Company X raised $20M, hired 4 sellers, changed pricing, and matches your ICP at 87%. Here's the VP Sales to call, and who you already know there."
Signals brought together, the company ranked to your ICP, who you know there, with the contact and a drafted opener attached.
The same outreach gets dramatically different results depending on what you know, and which company you pick. Every step on this ladder is independently measured.
Generic cold email averages a 3.43% reply (Instantly 2026). Same list everyone else bought.
Signal-based personalization lifts replies to 18%, 5.2× generic (Instantly 2026). Our own signal-based LinkedIn campaigns: 30 to 35% accepted the connection. Now everyone stands on this rung.
Stacking 2 or 3 signals (funding + a new exec + hiring) reaches 25 to 40% replies; +142% vs blasts (Instantly/Martal/Landbase).
The first vendor to act on a trigger wins ~80% (Forrester 2024), 5× more likely to win (Growth List). Timing pays most when it is the right company.
Respond within 5 minutes = 21× more likely to convert (HBR/MIT, Oldroyd, 100K leads); act on a funding or leadership-change signal within 48 hours = 4× higher conversion (Salesmotion). But speed on the same alert everyone else got is a race to the same inbox. Every signal tool shows you the signal. What changes the result is which company you pick, the reason you have, and how you get in.
Fundz = a dozen-plus signal types on each company × each company ranked to your ICP × who you already know there = the few companies worth your time today, and the warm way in.
Signal-qualified leads convert 47% better, land 43% larger deals, and close 38% more often (Landbase).
of 2025 B2B sales engagements originated from signal-based triggers (Growth List). Signal selling is now the norm, not the edge case.
Newly funded firms spend ~2× more and hire ~2× faster; 71% finalize vendors within 90 days of the announcement (Jolly Marketer).
Five stages of signal sophistication — and where Fundz stands today.
"Company X raised $20M."
Where Fundz started in 2015. Raw events delivered as they happen.
"Company X raised $20M AND hired a CRO AND posted 5 SDR roles."
Detecting patterns across signal types to surface compound events.
"Company X matches your ICP with a score of 87."
AI lead scoring tuned to each customer's ideal client profile.
"WorkVibz score dropped 25%. CFO departure likely within 60 days."
AI-scored employee satisfaction from multiple leading employer review platforms — the inside-out signal that predicts exec departures, layoffs, and acquisition vulnerability.
"This company's next likely move is a funding round in the next 30–90 days."
Using years of structured event data to forecast a company's next move.
"We identified, scored, enriched, and engaged 12 opportunities this week."
Full-cycle automation — from signal detection to outreach.
Four compounding moats that widen every day, plus the one only you bring: your own network.
A company raising a Series B is noise. A company raising a Series B while a CFO role has been open 87 days, a CRO just departed, and WorkVibz is declining is a signal cluster that predicts expansion — and vulnerability — with high confidence. The hiring-intent layer (vacancy aging, exec backfill, reposted-role detection across 6 ATS sources) is unique to Fundz — no competitor surfaces these signals.
AI can process data but cannot create a proprietary, structured event graph spanning a decade of live business activity. WorkVibz aggregates employee satisfaction from multiple leading review platforms into a proprietary culture health signal no competitor can replicate. The Hiring Intel layer derives signals from harvesting 6 public ATS sources nightly + cross-referencing them with funding and exec-change data, an integration nobody else builds.
A fractional CRO targeting mid-market SaaS cares about different signals than a PE firm looking for acquisition targets. Fundz knows the difference.
AI models are generic. Personalized ICP matching requires hundreds of real customer profiles refining the scoring engine over years.
Every signal arrives with the right person to reach attached: verified email included, verified mobile on demand. Pro: unlimited email reveals + mobile credits from $0.50. Strategic: unlimited email reveals + 200 mobile reveals/mo bundled. No second subscription. No CSV export to a third tool. Right person, right company, in one click.
Sales-intelligence databases ship contacts without timing. Alert tools ship timing without contacts. Wiring the two together — per-user ICP scoring on every contact, with on-demand mobile — is a product surface no incumbent ships in one place.
A decade of structured event data plus years of per-user ICP refinement that a new entrant can't compress into a sprint — pattern recognition through a full economic cycle, from the 2020 zero-rate era to the 2026 AI restructuring.
Historical data cannot be synthesized or back-filled. It must be collected as it happens over years of continuous operation. The 2015 baseline gives Fundz pattern recognition through a full economic cycle (including the 2020 zero-rate-to-2022-rate-shock-to-2026-AI-restructuring transitions) that platforms launched after 2022 structurally cannot match.
A self-reinforcing loop that compounds every year.
This flywheel is why the combination is hard to copy. A competitor starting now faces a decade of historical data and years of ICP refinement already compounding inside Fundz.
Every other tool stops at "here's a signal," and sends the same one to your competitors. Fundz takes the signals on a company, finds the right person, shows who you already know there, and drafts the outreach: an email from your own inbox (SmartSend) or a warm LinkedIn touch (Engage), ready before your morning coffee.
"Acme Corp just raised a $15M Series B and hired a VP of Engineering."
"You know Sarah Chen there. She's your 1st-degree connection. She just posted about their growth plans."
SmartSend writes an email built from that signal and the contact's role — from your own inbox, up to 3 touches, and follow-ups stop when they reply on Outlook and wait for your OK on Gmail. Or Engage queues a warm LinkedIn touch in your voice. In your Slack by 7 AM.
This is what makes Fundz more than an alert feed. It's the only platform that completes the loop from detection to warm conversation.
Concrete capabilities live in production right now. Not roadmap, not vision — what a Fundz user can do this morning.
Org-grouped intent feed with 7 hiring-signal types — vacancy aging, exec backfill in motion, role reposted, hiring surge, key-role posted, dept expansion, tech-stack signal — across 6 ATS sources.
Click-to-generate 1-page brief grounded in the company's actual signals — comp benchmark, why now, sourcing pools, talking points. Shareable URL. Print to PDF for client deliverables.
Peer-percentile placement of any role's comp band against our own dataset — same canonical role + currency + size bucket. Fee math that runs on real currently-listed roles, not Levels.fyi anecdata.
One click on any signal generates a short LinkedIn DM grounded in the specific event. Copy or queue into Engage. No "I noticed you're hiring" boilerplate.
P(funding), P(exec_hire), P(acquisition), P(contract) per company in the next 30-90 days. XGBoost + SHAP, trained on 3 years of news-detected events. Anchors timing, not just intent.
$99/mo Strategic includes 200 verified mobile numbers/month. No per-seat upcharge. Others charge extra for it. Pack model on top for variable usage.
Pin any filter set as a Mandate ("Series B+ healthcare CFO open ≥60d, comp ≥$300k"). Optional email channel pulls it into a Monday-morning digest with top matches.
Email as soon as a watchlist org's key role crosses a new aging threshold (45/60/90/120 days). Idempotent per (user, org, threshold) so no spam.
Eight production capabilities. One subscription. The full outreach loop, not just the alert.
It's a fair question. Chat models are incredibly powerful. They can search the web, analyze SEC filings, and automate workflows.
But here's what they can't do:
An agent runs when you tell it to. Fundz monitors companies 24/7 and alerts you as trigger events happen.
An agent has no memory of what happened last quarter. Fundz has 10 years of structured data that reveals patterns invisible to point-in-time searches.
An agent doesn't know what you sell or who your ideal customer is. Fundz ranks every company against YOUR specific customer profile, refined over hundreds of accounts.
An agent sees one thing at a time. Fundz correlates funding + hiring + sentiment + SEC + website changes into compound signals that predict buying intent.
An agent can draft cold emails. Engage cross-references your actual LinkedIn network against live signals and writes DMs in your voice.
AI is the chef. Data is the ingredients. We grow our own.
Fundz does not compete with these tools. It sits above them: signals brought together on each company, ranked against your ICP, with who you already know there.
Fundz does not compete with these tools. Fundz sits above them as the intelligence synthesis layer.
Anyone whose next deal starts with the right company and someone they know.
Everyone now has AI. Everyone has the same data and the same alerts. The edge goes to whoever knows which companies matter and why, and reaches them through the right person with the right message. That's the job Fundz does.
More than a dozen live signal types. Ranked for your exact market. Woven through your own relationships. The combination is the product, and no chat model or single-signal feed can assemble it.
Fundz is building the intelligence substrate that powers the next generation of go-to-market.
