How VCs and angels use scraping for deal flow + research
Venture investors and angels use scraping for two jobs: sourcing new deals before competitors, and monitoring their portfolio for warning signs. Kavex covers both via LinkedIn Triggers + Lookalike + Company Page scraping.
Deal sourcing
Set Trigger Watches on hot categories. Funding announcements + hiring spikes + new C-level joins surface promising deals 1-3 days after the public signal — usually before a cold pitch from competitors.
Portfolio monitoring
Watch your own portfolio companies for layoff signals, key-person departures, funding-round-stalls.
Diligence research
For deep-dives on a target: LinkedIn Profiles of founding team, Tech Stack Detector on their site, Trustpilot reviews of competitors, AI Universal Scraper for niche data sources.
