Capital Signal Radar
Research beyond the initial shortlist. Capital Signal Radar searches for investor candidates in your niche and evaluates recent activity, mandate fit, and public capital signals.
One-time package. Review the scope below; contact the team with questions before ordering.
Define the niche before building the list
Tell us your sector, stage, location, round size, and what makes the business distinct. The search should fit the actual company, not just a broad label.
The standard package targets 20 researched candidates. Very narrow niches may not have 20 defensible fits; contact the team before ordering if coverage is uncertain. Lists larger than 20 require a custom scope.
Get context, not a dry-powder promise
Candidate research considers current thesis, relevant deals, fund announcements, partner interests, and geography. Capital confidence is a directional assessment from public evidence. It is not a verified balance, proof of investor appetite, or a guarantee that a candidate will reply.
- Candidate fit and niche relevance.
- Dated public activity and source context.
- Capital-signal confidence and caveats.
- Questions to validate before outreach.
Choose the next conversation
Compare the findings with your original matching queue. Strong activity does not fix the wrong stage or check range. Keep low-confidence candidates in a research queue until their uncertainties are resolved.
The $199 package is a research product, not an introduction service. Ask about a custom order when your niche, geography, or desired list size needs a different scope.

Frequently asked questions
How many investors does the package cover?
The standard scope targets 20 researched candidates. Niche availability varies, so very narrow searches should be scoped with the team before ordering. Larger lists are custom orders.
Are these guaranteed to have capital available?
No. Public research can identify current signals but usually cannot verify remaining deployable capital. Confidence estimates and unknowns should be reviewed before outreach.
