Real Estate Investors: Angels and VC Firms

RaiseHunt currently lists 17,905 Real Estate investors.

Both. 3,034 are angel investors putting in their own money, and 14,871 are people making investment decisions at 4,036 firms.

The largest concentrations are in New York, London and San Francisco.

Most list Seed and Late-Stage among the rounds they take part in.

Every profile shows whether an email address is on file. The addresses themselves, along with AI matching and outreach, are in the RaiseHunt app.

Yes. The directory and every profile page are free to read. Matching your own startup against them requires an account.

No. Most list several sectors, and a company that sits between two of them is normal rather than a problem. What matters is whether they have funded something structurally similar to you, not whether the label matches exactly.

Several, in almost every case. A single backer concentrates the risk of the round collapsing if that one conversation goes cold, and a group brings more introductions later. Rounds are usually assembled from a lead plus others who follow.

Follow up with new information rather than a reminder. A short note saying what changed since you last wrote gives the reader a reason to reply, where "just checking in" gives them none. Two or three of those, spaced out, is normal and expected.

Usually the list was too short or too loosely matched, not that the company is unfundable. Widen it, tighten who you are writing to, and rewrite the first two lines of the message. Those lines decide whether anything below them gets read.

An angel invests their own money and can decide alone, which usually makes the process shorter. A fund invests money it raised from other people, so it answers to those backers and normally runs a longer diligence process before it commits. Founders often raise from angels first and bring in a fund once there is more to show.

Far more than feels comfortable. Response rates on cold outreach are low even when the fit is good, so a list of a handful of perfect names tends to stall. Build a long list, sort it by how well each one matches what you are building, and work down it in batches rather than sending everything at once.
