Frequently asked questions
Where does aVenture get its data?
aVenture reads regulatory filings, press releases, companies' own websites, and news publishers.
How do I search and filter companies?
There are two ways. Type a question into the search bar, like "fintech startups in Austin that raised a Series A" or "who competes with Ramp", and get an overview, relevant news, and matching companies. Or open the Companies directory and filter by stage, location, industry, funding amount, and team size, as cards or as a table. You can carry a search into the directory, save your views, and export lists.
What is included in a company profile?
A company profile includes funding rounds, leadership and key people, recent news, and business analysis such as competitors, SWOT, and business model.
How can I have a company added to aVenture?
You can request research on any company directly from the search bar, or submit a request to add a company. We inspect the company's public filings, announcements, and online presence to build a verified profile and add it to the platform.
Can I use aVenture inside Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. The connector (MCP server) links your aVenture account to Claude and ChatGPT, and the command-line tool does the same in a terminal. Both use the same aVenture account and plan as the website. Follow the MCP setup guide to get started.
Is aVenture free to use, and do I need a credit card to start?
You do not need a credit card to get started. With a free account you can find and filter companies and open a small number of profiles each month. Paid plans add unlimited searches, full business analysis, research requests, and API access.
Do you offer mobile and desktop apps?
Yes. We provide apps for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, keeping your saved shortlists, recent searches, and research history synchronized across all your devices. Visit our app download page to get started.
Can I save lists and export data?
Yes. You can organize companies, investors, and founders into custom shortlists and export your data for investment memos, diligence workflows, or presentations.
