Use when

You are building a target list from scratch and want to see stated investment theses before you spend time on outreach.

Skip when

You already have a warm network, or you need contact-level CRM tracking rather than a list.

Free tier gives filtered access to investor lists including Africa-focused and Africa-active funds, which is unusually generous compared with paid databases. Because it is built around cold outreach, response rates depend heavily on how well you filter - sending to every fund in a list is the common mistake.
