Poach helps VC expand their dealflow by tracking their competitors.

About Poach

Poach is a tool designed for venture capital professionals seeking to identify startup founders before they begin fundraising. It works by monitoring which accounts top venture capitalists follow on Twitter, then matches these profiles to LinkedIn using proprietary identity resolution. The platform uses AI to label individuals by role and background, such as founder, engineer, or investor, and delivers enriched data via CSV export, API, or curated newsletters. Pricing is based on the number of profiles tracked or through a monthly newsletter subscription. Poach is aimed at VCs who want to improve dealflow by spotting promising founders early.
