I have been doing startups since 2006 and have always struggled with finding the right investors for my companies.
We wanted to answer these questions:
* Who is actively investing?
* What are they investing in?
* How to get in touch with them?
Turns out that there is no good source of investor info on the Internet right now. it took us months to collect all the correct information and figure out exactly how to display it.
We plan to keep this up to date and have already had 50+ new investors ask to be entered so we will expand this over time.
Excited to share this with the PH community.
Hi Product Hunt 👋 I’m Dani and I’m a Visual Designer at Mercury. @andrei_korytsev and I worked together to design the database and give founders a place to find the right investors to connect with. We wanted the tool to highlight investor information at the forefront by utilizing tags and filtering that could sort the list by industry, geography and check size. We used Mercury brand colors and typography styles to create a harmonious, balanced experience with the rest of our site. We hope you like it!

Hello @andrei_korytsev and @dani_moalem. Thanks for working and sharing the DB. I was talking to my partner about it last night and having those contact details is extraordinary and that they come from within the community is even better. On the other hand, I was brainstorming for a while on how to approach those potential investors. I am still thinking ... Thanks @immad for managing Mercury!
The Investor DB is beautifully designed and super functional for founders building their investor pipeline. New investors keep being added to it to make sure there's nothing but increasingly useful info to access. As a details person, my fave detail is the check size range fields automatically truncating zeros to a clean single letter, e.g. $500,000 to $500K.
So many teams—special projects, engineering, design, content, and more—worked to build the Investor DB. It's super functional and easy to use. Help us keep making it stronger. Send it to your friends, share your feedback with us, and if you're an investor and want to be listed, submit here: https://www.jotform.com/form/212...

* Surprised security isn't a listed industry.
* It might require ongoing work, but a suggestion/request feature would let you see what the community's looking for
Looks great. There are a lot of startups-investors matching platform, but I think you guys have more chances to succeed considering the progress that you've made with Mercury. Your happy customer.
?makers -- thank you for this! Good looking on top of being useful. One other thing I'd find useful, living in India, is a geography filter. I know the data is there and shown in the detail view, but a filter in the list view will be perfect.
