Crowdsourcing a free directory of Investors & Funding for Startups
Hey founders,
Have noticed that most of VC & investor details are usually paywalled or not up to date.
Because of it, we have built a directory of funding at desifounder, which can be accessed for free by all users. Currently have added around 70+ investor details, and doing it manually to verify most of the data is accurate and up to date. Will keep adding around a few hundred more investor details in the coming weeks.
To keep things up to date, have added a form where any signed up user can add funding details too.
In future will add the option for owners to claim the specific funds to edit and keep their details accurate, and also an option for users to request edits too (similar to wikipedia).
If anyone is interested to contribute they can do so, and if there's any other suggestions or feedback, please drop it down on comment or dm me. Thanks!
