👋 Hi, I’m Andre and welcome to my newsletter Data Driven VC which is all about becoming a better investor with data and AI.

The best investors use Scout to understand startups, the people behind them, and the markets they compete in.

Fundraising is one of the most important jobs for investment firms. It’s also one of the most manual: finding relevant LPs, tracking their activity, and figuring out who actually invests in funds like yours.

I’ve spent the past decade exploring how data and AI can help investment firms become more efficient and effective, specifically when it comes to the investment process.

Today, we’re bringing that approach to fundraising.

Meet Final Close: a deeply researched database with 30,000+ active LPs investing in funds like yours, available through web app or directly via MCP in your Claude, ChatGPT, or other agents.

In 2025, we first curated limitedpartnerlist.com with scrapers and input from the DDVC community. The list was available as one-off download. The problem? It’s a static list. Once downloaded, it’s already outdated.

So we rebuilt it from scratch to make it useful - today, tomorrow, and every single day of your fundraise.

Here is everything inside Final Close.

1. Every new fund, updated daily

The New Funds page tracks private-market fund closes across VC, growth, and PE as they are announced. Filter by fund size and by location. In the last 30 days we logged 164 fund closes, $259.8B raised and 34 first-time funds.

A fund like yours that just closed with LPs you don’t know is the best starting point for your next outreach.

2. One database for every type of LP

Final Close covers 30,000+ active LPs across Family Offices, Funds of Funds, Wealth and Asset Managers, Pension Funds, Endowments, Corporates, and more.

Search by type, region, ticket size, allocation, and strategy, or filter for LPs that back emerging managers. Each profile shows the LP's mandate, ticket size, stages, sectors, recent fund commitments, and decision-makers, including their LinkedIn profiles.

Planning your next trip to Munich? Use the search in web app or via MCP and enter “LPs in Munich”:

3. Leverage your full network for intros

Connect your firm’s network across email, LinkedIn, X, and more via Happenstance, and Final Close ranks the best way into each LP: a teammate who knows someone there, a mutual connection, or a cold approach. Your relationship data stays private inside your firm.

4. Pipeline management for your fundraise

Track every LP on a shared board, from intro requested to meeting, due diligence, soft commit and committed. Save named lists, export to CSV, and get notified when a fund closes or an LP you follow is flagged. Everyone on your email domain shares one pipeline, one set of lists and the team's warm paths.

5. Run it from your AI agent

Final Close runs via MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code can search the same database as the web app. Add one URL to your agent's connector settings and sign in with a magic link.

Your agent can then:

  • search LPs by description or filters, and open full profiles

  • look up any fund and the LPs behind it

  • list new fund closes

  • rank your warm paths into an LP

  • add LPs to your pipeline and save lists

  • draft and trigger reach outs

  • and lots more

A free Final Close skill teaches your agent to fundraise with these tools. It starts from your fund, checks each LP's recent commitments before suggesting it, and asks before it changes your pipeline or lists. The setup guide takes a few minutes.

You can freely share and access fundraising skills from the DDVC community via the vcskills library.

6. Built with LPs in mind, too

LPs can claim their profile for free in just minutes. We verify them through their organisation's email domain. Once claimed, they can edit their details, set what they invest in and choose how fund managers reach them. If an LP is missing, it can add itself.

7. The Final Close newsletter

Fundraising might not be top of mind for everyone in the DDVC community. I know. But for those interested in which funds get closed, and which LPs invest, we’ve created the new Final Close newsletter. A weekly summary of newly raised VC, growth and PE funds - including the LPs who backed them - in your inbox.

Each issue is a briefing built around what you need while you raise:

  • Fundraising news. The week's headlines on fund closes and fundraising, so you can see where capital is moving.

  • New funds by region. Newly announced VC, growth and PE funds across Europe, the US, Asia and the rest of the world, with fund size, strategy, and disclosed LPs backing them.

  • Most active LPs. The limited partners with the most identified fund commitments in recent weeks, grouped by region.

  • Playbooks. Practical guidance for managers raising their next fund.

Every fund and LP in the newsletter links to its profile in Final Close, where you can check the mandate, recent commitments and warm paths.

Now, go test it and tell us what's missing :-)

Final Close exists because we wanted to bring the data-driven approach to fundraising. Reply to this email and let us know what you think.

Stay driven,
Andre
