About StartupBase

StartupBase is a curated directory of venture capital firms, accelerators, angel investors, and funding platforms. We verify every listing against public sources before publishing — AUM and valuation figures are 2026 reported values and move fast, so we flag what needs a second check.

How we curate

Listings are researched by hand: we check each listing's official site, confirm what it does and what it costs, and record our sources. Unknown fields stay unknown — we'd rather show a thin-but-true listing than an impressive-but-invented one. Tool owners can claim their listing at any time to keep details accurate.

How we make money

Two ways, both transparent: some outbound links are affiliate links (labeled where they appear), and vendors and agencies can buy featured placements (always labeled "Featured" or "Spotlight"). Neither affects rankings — our best-of lists are computed from listing data, not from who pays us.
