Venture capital directory and private equity firm research since 1998

Venture Capital Access Online is a free venture capital and private equity directory portal, published by Access InterComm since 1998. It brings together free investor, advisor and LP directories, daily deal news, and the paid VCPro Database.

The July 2026 release of VCPro Database, its 29th edition, profiles 7,672 venture capital and private equity firms, including family investment offices and corporate investors, by investment stage, industry, geography, financing type, check size and capital under management, with 56,020+ named GP-side executives attached.

Prefer to browse online? The free investor, advisor and limited-partner directories are separate resources with their own coverage, and limited-partner allocators are listed only in the free Directory of LPs, not in VCPro Database.

Researched in-house by Access InterComm, and published continuously since 1998. Editor: Doug Yu.

What we offer

Inside the venture capital and private equity directory

Three connected resources for fundraising, deal sourcing, and market research: the paid VCPro Database, free online investor, advisor and LP directories, and daily private market news. Each serves a different need, and their coverage is not identical.

VCPro Database

Paid, offline desktop software holding in-depth profiles of 7,670+ venture capital and private equity firms worldwide. Filter investors by geography, industry, financing type, and investment stage, then reach the executives who actually make the decisions.

US$119.95 one-time purchase. January 2027 update included.

Free investor and private equity directories

Browse curated online directories of active venture capital firms, private equity firms, corporate finance advisors, and limited partners. Search by location or sector focus to shortlist qualified funding partners and approach them directly, at no cost.

Capabilities

What you can do with VCPro Database

The search, contact, and export features below belong to the paid VCPro Database application: filters that combine, contacts with names attached, and enough firm data to disqualify a firm before you write to it.

Search and filter: build a targeted VC list

Combine criteria across industry, financing type, investment stage, and geography instead of filtering on one field at a time. A seed-stage SaaS company in Germany gets a genuinely short list, not 7,670+ rows to read. Save custom firm lists, add notes, and export the shortlist's contact information to Excel or CSV.

Named investor contacts

The July 2026 release carries 56,020+ named executives and 55,650+ executive email addresses. Contacts are researched in-house and reviewed for each edition; roles and contact details can change between releases.

AUM, check size, and investment stage

Each record sets out the firm data that decides fit: capital under management (AUM), minimum and maximum investment size, preferred financing types, and the stages a firm backs, from seed and Series A through growth equity and buyouts. Screen on check size first and you stop pitching funds that were never going to write your check.

Coverage

Venture capital firms and private equity firms, side by side

Both firm types share one profile structure in VCPro Database, so a single query can run across the whole private market instead of forcing you to work two separate lists.

How venture capital firm profiles compare with private equity firm profiles

Investment stages recorded Seed, startup, early stage, Series A to C, expansion Growth equity, buyout, mezzanine, recapitalization, turnaround
Ownership typically sought Minority stake alongside founders Majority or outright control

What a VCPro firm profile records

Fields recorded in VCPro Database investment-firm profiles
Profile field Information recorded
Firm identity Company name, firm type, year founded, and firm description.
Capital under management Total capital the firm reports managing (AUM). This is not uncalled dry powder.
Check size Stated minimum and maximum investment size per transaction.
Investment stage The firm's stated investment-stage preferences.
Industry preference The industries and sectors the firm targets.
Geographic focus The regions and countries in which the firm invests.
Financing type The forms of financing the firm provides.
Office locations Headquarters and branch office addresses.
Executive contacts Executive names, titles, work email addresses, and direct telephone numbers.

Sector, stage, geography, financing type, check size, and AUM are all filterable fields, so any combination of them can be used to build a shortlist in the VCPro Database. A field label is not a guarantee that every firm reports that information; check individual profiles for available values.

Scope note: VCPro profiles record firm-level criteria — AUM, check size range, stage, sector and geography — together with named GP contacts. The free directories are separate web listings, not a browser version of VCPro Database, and limited partners are listed only in the free Directory of LPs. Profiles do not publish fund-level performance figures such as IRR or TVPI, or uncalled dry powder. New fund closes are covered editorially in the fund news feed.

Common questions

Venture capital and private equity directory FAQ

Short answers to what founders, GPs, and researchers ask most often.

How do I find venture capital firms that invest in my startup?

Filter a venture capital directory by investment stage, sector, and geography, then compare check size and financing preferences rather than reading a static list. VCPro Database combines these criteria across 7,672 venture capital and private equity firm profiles and gives you the named executives to contact.

What is the difference between VCPro Database and the free online directories?

VCPro Database is paid, downloadable desktop software for Windows and macOS; its July 2026 release profiles 7,672 venture capital and private equity firms. The free online directories are separate web listings of investors, advisors, and limited partners that you can browse without buying anything, and their coverage differs from the paid database.

Does VCPro Database include limited partners (LPs)?

No. VCPro Database profiles venture capital firms, private equity firms, family investment offices, and corporate investors on the GP side, not limited-partner allocators. Limited partners and institutional allocators are listed separately in the free Directory of LPs.

How many venture capital and private equity firms are in VCPro Database?

The July 2026 release of VCPro Database, its 29th edition, profiles 7,672 venture capital and private equity firms worldwide, with 56,020+ named executives and 55,650+ executive email addresses. These figures are for the paid desktop product, not the free website listings. Every record is researched in-house by Access InterComm rather than licensed from a third-party data vendor.

How much does VCPro Database cost?

VCPro Database 2026 is a one-time purchase of US$119.95 with no subscription, and the price includes the January 2027 update. Existing customers can renew at a discounted US$89.95. Orders are processed by FastSpring as merchant of record.

How often is the venture capital database updated?

Two editions are published each year, in January and July. The current release is the July 2026 29th edition, and buyers of VCPro Database 2026 also receive the January 2027 update.

Which computers does VCPro Database run on?

VCPro Database is a downloadable desktop application, not a browser-based service. It runs on Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and 11 and macOS 10.13 or later, and does not run on Windows 8. Once installed, it works offline.

Can I export investor contacts to Excel or CSV?

Yes. Contact information can be exported to Excel or CSV with no row caps. Exports cover contact information only; investment criteria such as stage, sector, check size and capital under management stay inside the application.
