Not a list of names. The connections between them.
Anyone can find a name. What matters is who invests together, who comes in at the next round, and where the money is moving. Pulse shows the market as a network, so you see the pattern, not just the players.

Matches, for founders
Know which investors you fit before you apply
Pulse checks every angel group and fund it covers against your company: the criteria they publish and what they have actually backed. You see the clear fits first, why each one fits, and where to apply.
- Reads your deck for you. Upload your pitch deck and Pulse reads it in about a minute. You check every fact before it's used.
- Knows what rules you out. Stage, place, round size, SEIS and EIS, how much of your round is left, women-led and more, investor by investor.
- Every kind of investor, one list. Angel groups, SEIS and EIS funds, venture funds, VCTs, regional funds and programmes, clear fits first.
- Where and how to apply. Each investor's own route and what it asks for. You apply yourself; Pulse sends nothing on your behalf.
