Understand existing and prospective investors
Less than 10% of all venture investors tend to lead rounds. The majority of institutional investors invest only when there are other investors willing to invest.
By understanding a given fund’s inclination to lead, founders can determine which investors to pursue at the very beginning of a round.

Use prior investment patterns to asses relevance
Some investors love SaaS products that sell into SMBs. Others do not. The prior investment patterns of a given fund are the biggest indicator of their inclination for a given stage, sector or geography.
Identify the right partner at a target firm
Some partners invest only in late-stage deals while others like to focus on the earliest stages.
Some partners invest in a given sector while others invest across domains.
Evaluate the types of recent deals
The most recent deals of a given investor are reflective of what interests them in the most recent times.
You can filter a given investor's recent deals to identify companies that are similar to yours.
