Deal Flow Tools for Solo GPs
Level the playing field against established funds with a single dataset that surfaces breakout startups across 15 sectors every week.
Solo GPs don't have a sourcing team. GitHub engineering signals level the playing field, a single dataset that surfaces breakout startups across 15 sectors every week, before the round is live. No expensive Bloomberg terminal, no analyst subscriptions. Just public code, measured.

Workflows for Solo GPs
Full dataset export for CRM pipeline
Export the complete signal dataset as JSON, CSV, or NDJSON. Plug into your own pipeline or CRM, Affinity, HubSpot, Notion, or a custom dashboard.
Custom sector deep-dive reports
Order a deep written report on any one sector, the Custom Sector Sweep includes per-company engineering profiles, trajectory analysis, and fundraise-window predictions.
API access for automated dashboards
Build automated deal-flow dashboards with the OpenAPI 3.1 spec. No auth required, just fetch the JSON endpoint on a schedule.
Why engineering signals matter for Solo GPs
Solo GPs compete against firms with 20-person sourcing teams. Code-side sourcing turns a solo operator's GitHub literacy into a structural advantage, the same data that a 20-person team would spend weeks collecting is available as a single weekly export.
What this does not solve
Engineering signals don't replace investment judgment, portfolio management, or LP relations. They are a sourcing accelerator, not a full investing platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I export the dataset into my own pipeline?▾
Yes. JSON, CSV, and NDJSON exports are free at /dataset. The OpenAPI spec at /api/openapi.json documents all endpoints.
How accurate is the stage classification?▾
Stage is estimated from contributor count, team-size enrichment data, and funding history where publicly available. See /methodology for the full classification methodology.
Is there a paid tier for solo GPs?▾
The dataset and API are free. The Custom Sector Sweep (€1,997 once) and Insider Circle (€197/month) are additive paid offerings.
