Introduction to Investors Database

An investors database is the list of persons who engage in investment activity and is used to create targeted marketing campaigns. Investors databases are created by various sources and are usually highly guarded due to their potential value.

People who want to access an investors database must pay a fee charged per entry. Rather than searching through the entire database, they can search by precise parameters, such as seeking investors in particular demographic groupings. The information that is available through a database of investors varies. Names and contact information, and information about investing history are supplied to generate a picture of the kind of assets that persons on the list are interested in accessing. Race, marital status, earnings, and other criteria can all be collected using databases. This data is obtained through surveys and other methods and can be used in several marketing efforts.
People looking for investors can use an investors database to create a target market and advertise to generate initial interest and get a venture off the ground. People looking for a particular type of investor, such as a philanthropist looking to invest in charitable causes, can use specialty products such as databases with high-net-worth investors. A list of investors who meet the search parameters will be provided, and the person could contact those investors as needed. Access to an investor database with complete access to all listed investors is possible, but it is usually costly. People usually need statistics programs and other tools to process all the database entries because viewing all the relevant information at once could be overwhelming. Because the original database proprietor does not want the product to lose value, individuals with complete access are often prohibited from reselling the data they buy.

Magistral’s Investors Database Features

Updated Data

Updating new quantitative and qualitative data is vital to the investor database. Constantly adding newer entrants to the database gives a competitive advantage for that database over its competitors while also providing satisfaction for the clients that have paid for the service. At any given point in time, multiple analysts update the Magistral’s investor database on an ongoing basis

Accurate Data

When choosing an investor database, accuracy is critical. The data is undoubtedly sourced from reputable global sources by a third-party data provider. Examples are government listings, company directories, trade shows, websites, top journals, opt-in email addresses, and other authentic data sources. Furthermore, obsolete data serves no purpose. The purchaser must check if the provider does routine inspections to keep the investors database clean and relevant. A comprehensive purchase-ready database can engage with important investment decision-makers and convert them into qualified leads. Magistral sources its information from all reputed sources and provides verified information.

Reasonable Pricing

When buying an investor database, price is critical. Some database providers offer data for free. However, the database may be limited or have data fields that are missing or outdated. As a result, when looking for an investors database provider, the cost should be considered while ensuring that the other services are available. Magistral’s investors database only costs a few thousand dollars and provides the best value for the buck.

Additional Services

Providing more customized services along with the database adds to the value of any Investors Database. Customized leads of General Partners, Limited Partners, angel investors, and other investors tailored to the needs are hard to come by. So, supplying them will be a huge bonus. When it comes to finding investors for the required business, the possibilities are endless. There will be much trouble categorizing the data, wasting time, and making the overall process take longer. As a result, a database solution should be looked to separate data based on the investor’s industry, investment type, and other factors. An investor database should categorize and answer these questions based on investment focus, types, earlier investments, and geographies. Having the categorized data allows to easily search the database for investors who are suitable for the company. Therefore, less time can be spent exploring data and more time on innovative marketing and fund-raising initiatives.

The custom search possibility should be available in the investor database. As soon as the target investor is found, custom search lets browse data at leisure instead of through each contact. An investor can be searched by name, by type from a dropdown menu, or by market and location, they often invest. A good investor list is received in seconds without searching through the entire investor database using a customized search.

Magistral’s investors database provides customizable search options. On top of it, it offers customized services for leads generation depending on the specific requirements of the clients

Background

Decades ago, investment was done mainly through referrals or through knowledgeable sources like banks and private investment which was heavily based on the financial statement analysis of a company. The investors in the company were far and few. With no internet and adequate means of communication, investment or expansion of a company was a herculean task, then. Investors Database came into existence riding on the internet and information availability.

The world has now progressed to a stage where there are companies that are specifically dedicated to researching and providing access to investors’ databases. Although there are a plethora of options for startups or firms to raise money, there are very limited ones for Private Equity, Venture Capital, Hedge Funds, or Emerging Managers. Even if there are options, the prices for the same are prohibitive specifically for Emerging Managers who are on a shoestring budget.

Magistral’s Investors database

Our investors’ database is a collection of useful information about investors like LPs and GPs such as Private equity firms, Venture capitalists, Investment banking, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Family Offices, HNIs, and investment management firms. Each lead contains information such as their contact name, contact email, designation, company address, investment interests and specializations, investment geographies, and philosophy, etc. which is obtained mainly through sources such as secondary research, referrals, and personal contacts.

The purpose of the investor database is to facilitate the interactions between investors and business owners or Investment Managers and Limited Partners to invest in their firm or the fund. This can be done for multiple purposes such as seed capital funding, early-stage funding, expansion of business as well as late-stage funding in the case of companies. For funds, the obvious benefit is to close the funding rounds faster

Magistral consulting has a database that consists of General Partners, Limited Partners, Angel investors, and High Net Worth individuals (HNI’s) who have the resources and money available to invest in a business or a fund.

Problems with Other Solutions in the Market

There are various questions that one must answer before one agrees to pay for an investor database. Some of them are –

Costs: the costs associated with a database are large with some being as expensive as $30,000 to $80,000 for complete access. Costs are prohibitive for Emerging Managers.

Ease of Use: Very few players in the market allow for an easy-to-use interface for accessing the database

Excessive Information: Most of the information provided is not really relevant for a company. They need access to a limited number of resources.

Customized leads: Customized leads of GP’s, LPs, angel investors, etc. tailored as per your requirements are not easily available in the market. They have to pay for accessing the entire database.

In addition to these is the fact that these leads are researched and updated on a daily basis by a dedicated team of analysts so that you can stay up to date with the latest list of investors in the market.
