Find deals before they hit your inbox
Founders announce fundraising plans on Twitter, Reddit, and HackerNews long before they send a cold email to your fund. MentionFox catches these signals, enriches the founders, and surfaces them in your pipeline.
Step 1

Scan

Monitor "raising", "looking for investors", "Series A", and hundreds of deal-signal keywords across founder communities and social platforms.

Step 2

Enrich

Every founder who matches gets a full dossier — company, ARR signals, team size, prior funding, tech stack, competitive landscape. From public data.

Step 3

Score

AI scores each opportunity based on your investment thesis — stage, sector, geography, team strength, market size signals. Filter the noise.

Step 4

Reach Out

Foxified outreach references what the founder actually posted. "Saw your HN post about hitting $2M ARR — we'd love to chat about your Series A." Context beats cold email.
