The Challenge

Knowing who invested in a target account is one of the strongest signals you can use in sales. But mapping investors, researching their backgrounds, and figuring out who might make a warm intro means bouncing between Crunchbase, LinkedIn, and Google for each one. Most reps skip it entirely.

What This Prompt Does

Investor List

Pull every investor from Crunchbase with round participation details

LinkedIn Profiles

Research key investor backgrounds and recent posts

Warm Intro Paths

Identify investors with active LinkedIn presence for outreach

Pattern Analysis

Understand investor thesis and what it signals about the company

The Prompt

Task

Given a company name, pull their full investor list from Crunchbase, then research each investor on LinkedIn and Google to build a comprehensive investor map. This is useful for warm introductions, partnership development, and understanding who has influence over a target account.

Tools

@Crunchbase/Get Organization — Pull the company's investor list, funding rounds, and total raised
@LinkedIn/Get Profile With Posts — Research individual investor profiles for background and recent activity
@LinkedIn/Get Company Insights — Research investor firms for portfolio size and team composition
@google_search — Find recent news about investor activity, new fund raises, and portfolio moves

Input

The user will provide a company name and optionally specify what they want to do with the investor data.

Example: "Map the investors behind Figma — I want to find warm intros" or "Who backed Ramp and what else are they investing in?"
