FundDaddy presents · a letter
Dear investor,
You don’t know me. Eighteen months ago I left a good job to build the thing I couldn’t stop thinking about. The prototype works. The first users won’t give it back.
FundDaddy finds investors whose cheque size, stage, sector and geography fit the round you are raising.
So now I do the part nobody teaches. I write this letter — and I send it two hundred times.
Most of you will never read it. Not because the idea is wrong — because it landed on the wrong desk. A pre-seed letter in a growth fund’s inbox. A $300K round in front of a $50M cheque. A robotics deck sent to a software-only thesis.
The people who fit — whose cheque, stage, sector and geography match the round — are maybe nine in ten thousand. Finding them was never a writing problem. It is a search problem.
Two hundred go out. This is what comes back.
Not a verdict on the idea — a verdict on the aim. The letter never reached the desk it was written for.

The old way was luck. What follows is the other way.
— every founder, everywhere
So we wrote it all down.
Every firm, fund, person and round we could verify — written down once, kept current daily, and laid on axes you can actually search. Keep scrolling: the thread you have been following straightens into the first of them.
Funding is not a market. It is a few people, saying yes, one at a time.
The people who build
This wall fills as founders claim their profiles and ask to be seen — people appear here at their own request, never by scrape.

Select a stage to filter the register
Compare firms on one cheque-size scale
A $50K angel and a $50M fund do not belong on the same working list. FundDaddy plots the range each record reports on one scale so the mismatch is visible early.
Keep the search tied to the round
Filter from pre-seed through growth. When a firm spans several stages, the full range stays visible instead of being flattened into one label.
