Getting Started
How does TurboFund's 14-day free trial work?
You get full access to the platform for 14 days — no credit card required. Explore the investor database, search filters, pipeline tools, and upgrade to Pro anytime during your trial to unlock verified emails and direct outreach. After 14 days, pick the plan that fits: Basic at $20/mo or Pro at $50/mo.
Does TurboFund take equity or a percentage of my raise?
No. TurboFund is a flat monthly subscription — $20/mo for Basic, $50/mo for Pro. No equity, no success fee, no percentage of your round. Cancel anytime.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel anytime. Your pipeline and outreach history will no longer be active, but all Data Room files remain in your own Google Drive — you always keep ownership of your documents.
Who built TurboFund, and why?
TurboFund was founded by David Marple, a multi-time founder with a successful exit who is now an active angel investor. Having sat on both sides of the table, David built TurboFund to level the playing field — giving founders without a Harvard network or a Sequoia warm intro the same access to investors that well-connected founders take for granted.
The Investor Database
What types of investors are in TurboFund's database?
TurboFund includes 30,000+ angel investors and 10,000+ VCs, angel groups, accelerators, incubators, and family offices — totaling 250,000+ individual contacts. Every profile includes investment history, industry focus, stage, check size, LinkedIn and Twitter profiles, and partner names. Pro unlocks verified emails for 250K+ contacts across the entire database.
How do I find investors that are right for my startup?
Use TurboFund's filters to narrow by industry (AI, SaaS, Fintech, Consumer, etc.), stage (pre-seed, seed, Series A), check size, and location. Every profile shows past investments so you can verify fit before reaching out — not just a logo on a list.
How accurate and up-to-date is the investor data?
Our team actively maintains and enriches the database, cross-referencing investment history from multiple sources on an ongoing basis. Like any live database, individual details can change — but TurboFund is designed to be a current resource, not a static export. If you spot something outdated, reach out and we'll fix it.
How is TurboFund different from Crunchbase or PitchBook?
Crunchbase and PitchBook are enterprise tools built for VCs, corporate development teams, and analysts — expensive, bloated, and not designed for a founder actively raising.
TurboFund is built specifically for founders: a curated investor database you can actually act on, plus a pipeline to track conversations, outreach templates, and direct email access — all in one place at a fraction of the cost.
Think of Crunchbase as a research library. TurboFund is the tool you use to run your actual fundraise.

What's the difference between Basic and Pro?
The core difference is email access. Basic gives you every investor's profile, social links, and search filters — you can start warming up relationships on LinkedIn or Twitter right away. Pro adds verified emails for 250,000+ investors so you can reach out directly without going through social first. Pro also adds outreach templates, a data room, and team collaboration.
Features & Workflow
How does the investor pipeline work?
The pipeline works like a kanban board. Move investors through stages — Research → Contacted → Meeting → Term Sheet — so nothing slips through the cracks. You can add investors directly from search results or manually add people you're already talking to.
Can I add my own investors to TurboFund?
Yes. You can manually add any investor to your pipeline — including angels or VCs you've already sourced elsewhere. CSV bulk import is on the roadmap.
How do outreach templates work?
Upload your pitch deck once, and TurboFund generates tailored cold outreach templates you can use across investor applications and direct emails.
Important: We don't train AI models on your pitch deck or use your content for anything else. Your data stays private.

What is Data Room Lite?
A lightweight data room connected directly to your Google Drive. You maintain full ownership of your files — if you cancel TurboFund, everything stays in your Drive, not ours.
How is TurboFund different from a generic CRM like HubSpot or Salesforce?
Generic CRMs weren't built for fundraising — they require endless setup, don't have investor data, and treat every contact the same. TurboFund combines a curated investor database with a fundraising pipeline, so you can go from searching to outreach without switching tools. It integrates directly with Gmail rather than building a separate inbox.
Email & Technical
Which email providers work with TurboFund?
TurboFund's outreach and CRM features require Gmail or Google Workspace — either a personal @gmail.com account or a company email that runs on Google Workspace (e.g. name@yourstartup.com).
Most startups run through Workspace. If you're not sure, check whether you log into your company email via Gmail — if yes, you're on Workspace and it'll work.
Not supported: Outlook, Yahoo, or other email providers.

What Google permissions does TurboFund request, and why?
When you connect TurboFund to Gmail or Google Workspace, you grant limited permissions to send and track investor emails on your behalf. TurboFund never reads your inbox, never accesses unrelated files, and all integrations are SOC 2–compliant.
What does SOC 2 compliance mean for my data?
SOC 2 is an independent security audit standard. It means TurboFund's systems have been externally verified for how they handle, store, and protect your data. Your pitch deck, investor pipeline, and email data are handled under those certified standards.
How does email open tracking work?
TurboFund tracks email opens using a standard pixel. A few things to know:
• Open rates aren't always exact — email servers sometimes trigger a pixel without a human actually opening the message.
• Deliverability: Tracking pixels can occasionally increase the chance of landing in spam, especially with investors you've never emailed before.
We keep tracking lightweight so you get useful signals without hurting your sender reputation.

Who We Are
(And Why We Built TurboFund)
TurboFund was founded by David Marple , a multi-time founder with a successful exit turned angel investor. Our team is made up of founders and investors, we've been in the trenches ourselves, we feel your pain.
We know how hard it is to raise capital when you don't have a Harvard MBA, didn't work at Google, or have a warm intro to Sequoia. So we built the tool we wish we had when we were raising: a powerful investor database and simple CRM to level the playing field.
The Basic version gives every founder access to 40,000+ investors across 250K+ contacts and the tools to stay organized.
The PRO version unlocks even more: Email integration for a full CRM built on gmail + 250K verified investor emails, a simple data-room, and tons more, to help you master your fundraise.
TurboFund is about giving real founders a real shot. No gatekeeping. Just tools to help you master your fundraise.
And no, we don't ask for equity or some wild advisor fee. This is a tool, built by founders, for founders.
