You have 47 Crunchbase alerts and a PitchBook saved search. By the time a founder appears in either, they're already in three other partners' inboxes. The information advantage isn't in the database. It's in finding the person before the company exists.

The deals that return your fund don't come from Demo Day or warm intros from co-investors. They come from the partner who noticed a pattern: the second-time technical founder, the enterprise operator who just left a scaled company, the domain expert in a vertical where your thesis has conviction. Those signals live in career trajectories. No funding database indexes them because there's nothing to index yet.

Describe the founder archetype behind your best markup. CloneICP finds 20-50 professionals whose career trajectories match that pattern, months before they raise. Build the relationship when your conviction is the differentiator, not your check size.

Find the founder before the round. That's the edge.

Questions

How do I use this for deal sourcing?
Paste the LinkedIn profile of a founder from one of your best investments. CloneICP finds founders with similar backgrounds, trajectories, and expertise - the patterns that make founders successful in your portfolio.
Does this find pre-fundraising founders?
Yes - that's the point. CloneICP finds founders based on their background and trajectory, not their fundraising status. Many results will be founders who haven't announced rounds or aren't in databases yet.
Can I search for specific founder types?
Yes. Use different seed profiles to find different archetypes: technical founders, repeat founders, industry experts, ex-operators. Each search gives you different pattern-matched founders.
How much does it cost?
3 free searches to start - no signup required. After that, credits start at $10 for 10 searches. No subscription needed.
