A machine-readable investor database, designed for the kind of work you actually do. Schema is documented and stable. CSV, JSON, and XLSX. No scraping, no rate limits, no "contact us for enterprise pricing."

The download URL is permanent. Re-fetch any time for the latest version of the data — free updates are a load-bearing part of the deal, not a marketing line.

If you do founder work — fundraising research, market mapping, outreach prep, competitive intel — you'll hit the point where you need a list of investors. You can scrape it, you can pay a data broker, or you can buy a known-good, one-time-purchase dataset. The Raise List is the third option. The schema is documented so you don't have to reverse-engineer the columns. The data is verified at acquisition. The download URL is permanent and always serves the latest version. There is no subscription to forget to cancel.
Most "investor database" APIs charge £200+/month for fewer records. The Raise List is £79 once, for life. If you're running long-lived workflows, the unit economics make sense.
50 free sample records, no signup: /sample. The schema on the sample matches the schema on the paid product, so what you test is what you get.
Three SKUs, all one-time:
Regional packs contain a strict subset of the global data. If you buy the global pack, you don't need the regional ones.
An API endpoint is on the roadmap but not yet live. The current delivery format (download URL → JSON in a ZIP) is CLI-friendly and a one-time fetch — most agent workflows don't need anything more.
