📶 Increasing inbound deal flow for Confluence.VC members: Why we're opening up parts of our investor directory

1,889 members 👥 from 1,335 unique funds 💸 across 151 different cities 🌎

What makes a good investor?

Loaded question (we know), but it’s something we’ve thought about a lot.

We can’t give you a straight answer, but we’re confident in one thing: more inbound deal flow doesn’t hurt.

That’s why we’ve decided to make our investor database public.

We've done this for three reasons:

1. It helps companies increase their odds of raising capital. People on the inside forget this, but raising VC sucks. This should make it easier for companies to find the right people to partner with.

2. It increases the value of being a Confluence.VC member. Once members are accepted, this will give them more inbound deal flow from the right types of companies.

3. It creates an evergreen content asset for us. Creating traffic is a full-time job, and companies use every hack in their arsenal to generate eyeballs. We think this is a better way to create traffic through sharing value, and this project allowed us to create 87 new landing pages that we think will a) compound over time and b) capture more search demand.
