A database of European VCs and angel networks, a CRM for every investor you talk to, and a Claude skill that runs the raise with you. Built by an Operating Partner at a European VC.
Sointu Karjalainen, Operating Partner at FOV Ventures. Portfolio companies I work with have raised from GV, a16z speedrun, Plural and Y Combinator.You're raising pre-seed or seed in Europe, from angels, funds or both.
You have a deck, but no clear list of who actually invests at your stage and in your sector.
You want to run the raise as a process, not a pile of emails.
You're raising Series A or later. You need warm intros, not a list.
You're raising only in the US.
You want someone to make the intros for you.
Funds: stage, cheque size, sectors, countries and whether they lead, plus every company backed since 2021, so you spot who funded your competitor.
Angel networks and syndicates: focus, typical ticket, how to apply and upcoming pitch events.
How to reach them: a link to the fund's application form, its general inbox, or "warm intro only". No personal emails.
Every angel and fund in one sheet. Your CRM tells you what each investor still needs to say yes, whose move it is, and what to send next, so nothing goes cold.
Checks you're ready, builds your target list, reviews your deck, preps each meeting and drafts your follow-ups. You send everything yourself.
A monthly update your investors will read, so your next round starts warm.
Get the database, CRM, skill and template right after checkout.
Copy the sheet. Add the skill to Claude with the short install guide.
Tell the skill your stage, sector and round size. It returns your shortlist, tiered and ready for outreach.
Less than a day of a consultant's time, and it replaces the week you'd spend building the list yourself.
For the skill, yes. The database and CRM work on their own.
Yes. The database lists European angel networks and syndicates, with how to apply and upcoming pitch events. Individual angels aren't listed, as they're private people. Add the ones you know to your CRM and the skill treats them like any other investor.
No. I don't list partners' personal emails. Each fund shows its public route in: a link to its application form, its general inbox, or "warm intro only" when that's the only way in. And nothing about you is ever shared with the funds.
Every fund row shows the date it was last checked. The database is refreshed every quarter. Your kit includes the current edition and the next update. After that, fresh editions are €29 per quarter, sent by email. Cancel anytime.
European funds, including the UK, Switzerland and the Nordics.
Fund websites, portfolio pages and public announcements. No paid databases.
No. The kit shows you who fits and how they want to be pitched. You make the approach.
Add your company's VAT ID at checkout and you pay €99. Without one, your local VAT is added.
Yes, anyone in your company. Not outside it.
No. The kit is my own work. Buying it has no bearing on FOV's investment decisions.
Yes. Email me and I'll update or remove it within a week.

Before VC I was a founder: a health tech hardware startup that exited through an IP sale, then Höpöhöpö, a CRM for angels and VCs. I've helped startups raise over €100M. Startup years in San Francisco, London and Tampere.
I work closely with the team at Anthropic and run FOV's operations on AI systems I built myself. I also wrote the Female LP Pathways report, the first dataset on European LP diversity.
