We knew there had to be a better
way to find investors. So we built it.

We’ve experienced the frustration of outdated databases, cold outreach, and dead-end leads firsthand. That’s why we created shipshape.vc, a Venture Capital Search Engine that turns investor research from days into seconds.

Navigating Venture Capital with Precision

Founded in 2020, shipshape.vc compresses the research time required to create a well-informed investor shortlist—from 183 days to just seconds—dramatically increasing your chances of securing a warm response.

Our platform structures unstructured data to help you find investors actively backing your field, not just listing firm portfolios. We provide evidence-backed insights, so you can make confident, informed decisions.

With shipshape.vc, you gain clarity, confidence, and certainty, knowing you're reaching out to the right investors at the right time.
