Evertrace is the founder detection engine built for data-driven VC investors. The platform monitors real-time signals across multiple data sources to help venture capital funds discover exceptional founders before they appear in traditional databases like Crunchbase or PitchBook. How It Works Evertrace aggregates and analyzes signals from data sources like: Company Registries: Real-time monitoring of new incorporations filtering out shell companies and holding structures to surface real founders. GitHub: Detects when engineers transition from side projects to building startups, monitoring stealth activity and early formation patterns. Patent Filings: Surfaces new IP from individual inventors and micro-teams, identifying deep tech spinouts before market visibility. Academic Research: Identifies academic work with commercial potential and tracks researchers moving into venture creation. Social Media: Tracks early-stage founder behavior through network shifts and intent signals before a product or company is announced. Domains & Apps: Connects new domain registrations to individuals, past ventures, and technical behavior across platforms. Key Features AI-Powered Scoring: Machine learning ranks founders by potential, so investors focus on the highest-quality signals. Real-Time Alerts: Get notified the moment a new founder matches your investment thesis - via Slack, email, or in-platform. CRM Integrations: Signals sync directly into Affinity, Attio, and other tools your team already uses. API Access: Feed founder signals into custom dashboards, internal tools, or proprietary deal flow systems. Outreach Tools: Streamline the path from first signal to first meeting with built-in outreach workflows. Who Uses Evertrace Evertrace serves 175+ venture capital funds globally, including Creandum, Atomico, Cherry Ventures, and Antler. The platform is purpose-built for pre-seed and seed-stage investors who want to identify founders before their competitors do. What Makes Evertrace Different Unlike traditional deal sourcing platforms that rely on self-reported company data or funding announcements, Evertrace detects founders at the earliest possible moment - often before they've announced a company, raised money, or appeared in any database. This gives investors a sourcing advantage measured in weeks or months, not days.
