How does Brevoir source its fund data?
Brevoir primarily sources its fund data from SEC EDGAR Form D filings, which are required within 15 days of any US private securities offering. For international funds, thesis statements, and partner bios, it uses Claude-powered web research, ensuring data is authoritative and structured without relying on PitchBook or Crunchbase.
What types of funds does Brevoir cover?
Brevoir covers over 70 active VC funds globally, including Tier-1 firms like a16z and Sequoia, as well as Tier-2 institutional firms and accelerators. It also includes specialist funds and emerging managers from regions like MENA, LatAm, and SEA. Syndicate users can add up to 5 custom funds not in the global registry.
What is the difference between Brevoir and tools like PitchBook or Crunchbase?
PitchBook and Crunchbase are broad databases covering many companies at an enterprise scale. Brevoir, in contrast, is a specialized research tool that deeply tracks 70+ active VC funds, surfacing their actual behavior from Form Ds, press, and public activity, offering a different mental model and price point.
What is Fund Finder and how does it work?
Fund Finder is an AI-powered natural-language search tool. Users can ask questions like 'funds likely to lead a $3M seed in European climate hardware' and receive a ranked list of tracked funds. The results are based on actual recent behavior, including cadence, sector mix, and partner focus, rather than marketing copy.
