Five tools Claude can call
find_investorscoreThe core tool. Pass the startup’s sector and stage; it ranks the best-fit firms from the 388-firm Connect directory, each with a match score and the reason it fits. Pure data, no AI.
get_investorLook up any fund’s facts from Connect: stages, sectors, check size, whether it leads, website, and application link. Grounds your research and outreach in real data.
research_investorReturns Connect’s data on a fund, then Claude writes the research brief from its own knowledge: thesis, focus, typical check, how to approach, watch-outs.
meeting_prepGrounds Claude in the fund’s Connect data, then Claude generates the hardest questions that partner will ask, with answer angles and red flags to preempt.
draft_outreachGrounds Claude in the fund’s data, then Claude composes a tailored cold email, intro, or LinkedIn DM. Composes only; you send it from your own inbox.
In practice
Just talk to Claude.
Claude decides which tools to call and stitches them together. Compass brings the investor data and matching; Claude does the analysis and writing; your own email or LinkedIn does the sending, and you review every word first.
Here’s my one-liner and deck. Find me 20 best-fit seed investors.

Good to know
Questions, answered
Do I need an API key?
No. Just add the connector URL and start. v1 is open and free.
Do I need my own AI / Gemini key?
No. The only LLM is the Claude you’re already using — it does the analysis and writing. Compass just supplies the proprietary investor data and the matching. You bring nothing but Claude.
Does it send emails for me?
No. Compass composes; you send. Hand the draft to your own Gmail / LinkedIn (or your Gmail MCP) so you stay in control of every send.
Where does the investor data come from?
RaiseGate Connect: a curated, vetted directory of 380+ venture funds, angels, and family offices, tagged by stage, sector, ticket size, and lead behavior.
Which apps can use it?
Any MCP client: Claude Cowork, Claude Desktop, claude.ai connectors, and Claude Code.
