What is TurboFund?
TurboFund is an investor database and pipeline built for startup founders. It helps you find the right investors, move them into a kanban-style pipeline, and streamline your fundraising outreach — all in one simple tool.
What's in the database?
TurboFund includes two databases:
• VC Database: thousands of top VCs, funds, accelerators, incubators, and family offices.
• Angel Database: curated profiles of active angels and syndicates.
Each profile includes details like industry focus, stage, check size, investment thesis, partner names, and social links.
👉 Pro also unlocks 40,000+ verified investor emails.
• VC Database: thousands of top VCs, funds, accelerators, incubators, and family offices.
• Angel Database: curated profiles of active angels and syndicates.
Each profile includes details like industry focus, stage, check size, investment thesis, partner names, and social links.
👉 Pro also unlocks 40,000+ verified investor emails.
How accurate and up-to-date is the investor data?
Our team actively maintains and enriches the database. We pull from multiple sources, cross-reference investment history, and update profiles on an ongoing basis. Like any database, information can change quickly — but TurboFund is designed to be a "live" resource, not a static list.
What's included in the Basic plan ($20/mo)?
• Access to VC & Angel Databases
• Search across industries, stages, check size, thesis, partners, and more
• Kanban-style pipeline to track investor status
• Add investors from search or quiz into your pipeline

• White-glove onboarding
👉 Outcome: Founders replace messy spreadsheets and get organized.

How does the 4-day free trial work?
You get full access to TurboFund for 4 days — no credit card required. After that, you'll need to subscribe to Basic or Pro to keep using the platform.
How does the Investor Pipeline work?
Our pipeline works like a kanban board. Move investors through stages like Research → Contacted → Meeting → Term Sheet. You can also manually add investors you're already in touch with. CSV imports will be supported in the future.
Can I add my own investors?
Yes. You can add investors manually into your pipeline today. In the future, we'll also support bulk CSV imports.
Do you take equity or a % of my raise?
No. TurboFund is a pure SaaS product — just a monthly subscription.
What happens if I cancel?
You can cancel anytime. Your pipeline and history will no longer be active, but all Data Room files remain in your Google Drive. You always keep ownership of your documents.
How do Gmail and Google Workspace accounts work with TurboFund?
TurboFund works with both personal Gmail accounts (e.g., @gmail.com) and Google Workspace Gmail accounts (e.g., @yourstartup.com).
Most startups today run their company email through Google Workspace. If you log into your @yourstartup.com account via Gmail, that means it's built on Google Workspace.
There are technical workarounds to connect non-Gmail email clients, but we don't recommend them. The easiest path is to create a Google Workspace account for your startup and CC your non-Gmail addresses on outreach if you want them in the loop.
🚫 Important: TurboFund does not support Outlook, Yahoo, or other providers.

How do Google permissions work?
When you connect TurboFund to Gmail or Google Workspace, you grant limited, SOC 2–compliant permissions to send and track investor emails. TurboFund never reads your inbox or accesses unrelated files.
What does SOC 2 compliance mean for me?
SOC 2 is an independent audit standard that certifies how companies handle data security and privacy. It means TurboFund's systems have been verified for secure handling of your data.
How do outreach templates work?
Upload your pitch deck once, and TurboFund creates tailored email templates you can use for cold outreach or online investor applications.
➡️ Important: We don't train on your pitch deck or use your data for AI models. Your content stays private.

What is Data Room Lite?
A lightweight data room that connects directly to your Google Drive. You maintain full ownership of your files. If you cancel TurboFund, your files remain in your Drive — not ours.
How does email tracking work?
TurboFund provides simple email tracking for sent messages. Here's what you should know:
• Open rates aren't always perfect — sometimes a server "open" counts as a view (common with pixel-based tracking).
• Deliverability: Adding tracking pixels can increase the chance of landing in spam/promotions, especially if you haven't established a "sending reputation" with that investor before.
• Industry context: This is standard for tools using open-tracking pixels and SMTP relay. We keep it lightweight so you get visibility without overcomplicating deliverability.

How is TurboFund different from other CRMs?
Most CRMs weren't built for fundraising — they're generic, bloated, and require endless setup. TurboFund combines an investor database and a pipeline in one place, so you can go from searching to outreach without leaving the platform. Plus, we integrate directly with Gmail/Google Workspace instead of building yet another inbox.
How is TurboFund different from Crunchbase or PitchBook?
Crunchbase and PitchBook are great for large organizations, corporate development teams, and big VCs that need exhaustive, enterprise-grade financial data. But they're expensive, bloated, and not designed with founders in mind.
TurboFund is the future-facing alternative:
• A research tool and a fundraising workflow tool in one
• Curated for startup founders, not Wall Street analysts
• Lightweight, simple, and affordable
• Combines search, pipeline, email, and templates in one place
• Built around the way founders actually raise: fast, lean, and personal
Think of Crunchbase and PitchBook as legacy enterprise products. TurboFund is built for the next generation of founders.

Who built TurboFund, and why?
TurboFund was created by David Marple, a former founder and now active angel investor. Having sat on both sides of the table, David built TurboFund to make fundraising simpler, faster, and less painful for founders.

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 10,000+ top investors and the tools to stay organized.
The PRO version unlocks even more: Email integration for a full CRM built on gmail + 40K 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.
