Poach

Poach is a collaborative intelligence platform designed to transform how venture capital firms and angel investors discover and connect with the next generation of founders. At its core, Poach tracks the social media activity of top-tier VCs, specifically who they follow on platforms like Twitter. This activity serves as a powerful, early signal of interest in promising individuals long before a formal fundraising process begins. By analyzing these signals, Poach provides a high-quality lead stream that sits perfectly between a warm introduction and cold inbound outreach, enabling investment teams to get a significant timing advantage. The platform enriches this raw signal with LinkedIn data and AI-powered labeling to create comprehensive, actionable profiles. Each morning, teams receive executive summaries and detailed CSV exports directly in their inbox, fostering a synergistic workflow where everyone is aligned on the newest opportunities. Poach is built for investment teams who believe that winning dealflow is a collective effort rooted in superior, early information and seamless internal cooperation.
