Connect VCbacked and the funding database answers inside the conversation — which companies raised, how much, from whom, and how to reach the founder.
Which fintech companies raised a Series A in the last 30 days?
14 companies matched. The three largest rounds:
Each includes the founder, contact email and LinkedIn. Want intro emails drafted?
Illustrative example. Company names shown are placeholders.
Every prompt below works as written once the connector is added.
A fresh round is the clearest buying signal there is: new budget, new headcount, new problems. Ask for the ones that fit your ICP and work the list the same day.
Track what is closing in your thesis, spot which funds keep showing up together, and see a sector heating up while it is still early.
Funding precedes hiring by weeks. Reach the founder before the roles are posted and before every other recruiter has seen them.
Watch your competitive set, brief your team on the week, or find newly funded companies that are about to need exactly what you sell.
Every matching company returns the full record — the same data the VCbacked app and REST API return, sorted by most recent raise.

In Muse, add a remote MCP connector pointing at the VCbacked endpoint, with your key as a bearer token.

Read-only by design. The connector searches and returns data. It performs no writes and sends nothing on your behalf — if Muse drafts outreach from the results, sending happens through your own email tooling and account.
You can add VCbacked to Muse today as a custom connector — Muse supports remote MCP servers, and VCbacked runs one. A listing in the Muse connector directory has been prepared and is subject to Muse’s review; we will update this page when it is live.
In Muse, add a custom connector pointing at https://app.vcbacked.co/api/mcp/companies and supply your VCbacked API key as a bearer token. Generate the key on your VCbacked profile page. The full setup steps are in the connector documentation.
Two read-only tools: search the funding database with filters (industry, location, round type, funding size, how recently they raised) and list the newest rounds. Muse can then summarize, compare, group, or draft outreach from the results — whatever you ask of it in the conversation.
You choose the window on every question — 7, 14, 30, 60 or 90 days. Results are sorted by most recent raise first, so the newest rounds in your window come back at the top.
The connector is included with an annual VCbacked plan — Pro at $299/year, or Lifetime — at no extra charge. It shares the same API key and rate limit budget as the REST API rather than costing extra.
No. The VCbacked connector is read-only and performs no writes and no sending. If you ask Muse to draft outreach, the drafting happens in Muse and sending goes through whatever email tooling you have connected, under your own account and consent practices.
Yes. It is a standard remote MCP server, so it works with Claude, ChatGPT and any client that supports MCP. The setup is the same endpoint and the same API key.
Included with every annual plan. Same key, same data, no extra cost.
