The most clean and useful list!
I purchased many other lists, but this one is the best! Every month, there’s a verified list of 2k items. It’s huge ROI. I just wish it also included phone numbers.

Got a Question? Ask here.
Sounds interesting, is it also a good choice for photographer based in Germany to get new customers? It would be interesting how many German startups are in the list.
Absolutely! If you’re a photographer based in Germany seeking new customers, this list is an excellent choice for you. It offers a valuable opportunity to connect with startups in need of professional photography services, potentially leading to collaborations for their PR events and projects.
Based on the previous 3 months’ lists, we have included over 200 German startups in our database. This ensures that there is a significant pool of potential clients specifically from the German market.
can you add linkedin company description for each funded startup?
Hi Alex – Thank you for your suggestion. We value your feedback and understand the importance of having LinkedIn company descriptions for each funded startup in our list. While we currently provide a long description and a short description that closely align with the LinkedIn company description, we will take your suggestion into consideration for future improvements.

Hi Alex – Thank you for your suggestion. We value your feedback and understand the importance of having LinkedIn company descriptions for each funded startup in our list. While we currently provide a long description and a short description that closely align with the LinkedIn company description, we will take your suggestion into consideration for future improvements.

I only see a ‘description’ column, there’s no long description and short description like you said in the sample list though.
But yes, Linkedin company description will be much better, hope this is added and I believe it won’t be hard too. I’ll purchase if this is added.
Currently in our sample, we have “description,” but we believe that adding a LinkedIn description based on your feedback would be valuable. Therefore, starting from next month’s list, we will include the LinkedIn description in our data list, and we will also enrich the current list with LinkedIn descriptions.
Looking forward to serve you as our valuable subscriber.
I checked the current list, it is still not enriched with the Linkedin company descriptions though?
Thank you for your feedback on our lead list in the review section. We truly appreciate your input as it helps us improve our services to better meet our customers’ needs. We have thoroughly reviewed your suggestions and will address each point accordingly:
Headquarters Location Formatting:
We apologize for the oversight in the formatting of the headquarters location data. You are absolutely right, and we understand the importance of having properly structured information. However, the Airtable export was eliminating the comma separation. Going forward, we will ensure that all the data, including “Headquarters location,” “Tech stack,” “Top 5 Investors,” “Industries,” and others, are correctly formatted with the appropriate commas. This improvement will ensure that the data is readily usable.
For the upcoming list, we have separated out the city, state, and country columns, which will allow you to use the data properly.
LinkedIn Company Description:
We completely understand the value of comprehensive company descriptions and agree that they play a crucial role in the lead research process. We will try to add LinkedIn company descriptions to our upcoming list in July. If it’s not possible, we have currently added additional fields: a description field named “Full Company Description” and “Company Keywords,” along with the previously published “Short Description.” This would help you save manual effort while aligning with the purpose of the list.
We look forward to serving you better in the future.
Since you said the list is manually prepared, please make sure there’s no weird / broken symbols that appears here and there in the list, which basically forces us to having to re-clean/re-vet the whole list’s all columns before using it..
Example of weird symbols: “L�der de Curr�culo e Avalia��o” under column; “Allen Rodr�guez Ricardo Hern�ndez Sergio ionele Povea S�ez” under column, just to list a few…
Also, the phone number data does not have universal formatting as well – some has +, some have (), some don’t, some even have minus sign at the start of the phone number. More importantly, some numbers have the country and area codes, some numbers are without either country or area codes or both.
If the list was really manually prepped, I think the person who prepares the list had made so many errors in cleaning the list properly, due to the weird/broken symbols issue, the missing comma issue (causing unformatted locations data, tech data, and also industry data..)
It seems more like an automatically generated list than a manually prepped and cleaned list so far. But anyways, the most important thing that I hope you can really fix is to make sure the the list is cleaned properly for every column so that it is readily usable + having the LinkedIn Company Description column. Having these 2 done will make the list a lot better @Sheel Patel
@Sheel Patel please look at the reply above, meanwhile I’m contacting RocketHub for instructions/ a form to upgrade my previous review to reflect some of the changes you’ve made in terms of fixing the ‘comma’ formatting issue, and the description. Currently I think the issue left is the weird symbol issue (in multiple columns, including org.name, eg 1receipt®) and the non-universal formatting +,-,() in phone numbers
@Sheel Patel Just noticed that the latest month’s data is actually just 1928 leads instead of 2000, will more be added soon since we’re promised 2k per month?
Lastly, I noticed some leads have ’empty’ Organization name (aka company names), while some have fully lower case company names, and some with weird symbols, in this latest August release too. Can you please make sure the lists are properly cleaned?
So one obvious question will these lists not get burnt as you if you have say 100 people sending emails to the same contact address etc and also what about gdpr
Hi Richard. Let me answer both questions:
1) There’s two points to consider.
A) Not everyone uses the lists for the same reasons. 1 person may be selling ads, another SEO, another content writing, another just using for market research, another for investment deal flow, another to invite to podcasts, another to sell branded mugs or t-shirts.
So the services offered may be different. The companies and niches they target may be different. The outreach method may be different (email, phone, social, etc.). And/or the use cases are definitely different from each other.
Similar to the fact that all businesses can run ads to the same target audience on Facebook or Google, that doesn’t mean there’s not enough business to go around for everyone. If not the Funded Startups List, customers will still be doing this manually so nothing’s different other than having it done-for-you to save time, money, and resources.
Furthermore, the quality of your outreach, messaging/copy, offer, case studies, brand credibility, and more play a role in whether or not a business will actually decide to work or partner with your firm.
B) This is a limited quantity deal only on RocketHub. Once the allocated licenses are sold out, that’s it. Everyone else will have to pay monthly just like they do at similar competing services.
2) re: GDPR – all this information comes from publicly available sources, databases, and news sites. Though, if someone wants their info removed from the FSL list, they can absolutely request it and it will be honored. However, in that case, their time will be more effective at getting it removed from larger sources on the net.
We are a small business and would only need a one off 1000 leads
We do have a monthly plans available for you to subscribe to here: https://leadbites.com/funded-startups-list/
If there is any custom requirements then please contact us via the contact form and we will look into possible options based on your needs.
Hello,
How is your product similar/different from Prelo.io?
Here are major differences vs Prelo:
1) you get the full list each month. No restrictions or limits. It’s yours. Prelo only gives you 40 leads to download each week. So compare 2000 leads with all emails found vs 160 per month.
2) Prelo only allows 2 locations. All others are not available. This list is everything no matter the location.
3) Prelo is a SaaS. This list is delivered as a csv / airtable that you download. It’s a monthly service. Not a SaaS.
4) with any plan of this service, you get some historical data. With Prelo, you don’t; every download counts against your 40/week.
Prelo is not comparable and you’d get nowhere near the same amount of leads. There has never been a LTD of such a service and we know there are only 4 or 5 other services. The biggest one charges $297 PER MONTH. This is one-time, lifetime price.
@Rockethub, can you please advise me on how to amend my review star and content? Previously I recall contacting you guys to help with review amendment, and was told I’d get an update on how to do so. Been waiting for quite some weeks now but nothing yet, probably you’ve forgotten I guess. Can you please advise on how I can update my review to reflect of the changes the LeadBites team made?
Alex – We sent you an email from support. Can you please send [email protected] an email to amend the review. I see it’s still there as a 2-star and since then the service added a bunch of stuff and got a lot better based on subscribers’ feedback.
How do you obtain leads after inputting your targeted industry details or keywords? Will everyone receive the same data every month? For example, if I want to reach new founders, will the same list be shared with all users? Please let me know.
Yes. The list is the same for everyone as the list of startups being funded is whomever got funded that month. So there can’t really be different lists for different people.
Hi this global leads or just USA? If i looking in israel can i get leads?
Global though most of the companies will be from USA. If there is good publications reporting on it, and if it ends up on major databases, we’ll likely get it.
hello, i have purchased max tier. when i register, it still asked for my credit card number? and it shows i need to pay $199 monthly. So what it is exectly?
and they tried to charge me $199
Hi – I think the team explained to you that you mistakenly selected quantity of 2 (instead of 1) when checking out. The first one was your LTD which is $0. The 2nd one was priced as such but you didn’t need it because you bought LTD. It was a mistake of quantity selection during checkout on your part.
But we would NEVER charge a LTD holder. The support team corrected that for you already and responded to your email upon receiving it. So all is good in your account.
FYI – No cc is ever needed if a LTD is bought and redeemed.
hello, sorry for the confusion. the issue seems to be that i did not insert the coupon code. i’ve sign up successfully now.
How do I know if the lead I’m getting is exclusive to me. I don’t want the leads who’re are being shared with all your customers, where’s my edge then? Needed clarification about this.
The data isn’t different because startups get funded — it’s an actual business event — not exclusive to anyone. So we’re not the only ones that also are trying to contact them. Therefore, expecting exclusive data doesn’t make sense. It’s a business event and there are only a few thousand of these fundings that happen per month.
Your edge is…
– Your messaging
– Your product or service
– Your offer
– Your brand
If the brand doesn’t have something valuable to offer, it doesn’t matter whether it’s exclusive data or not. And if it does have something great to offer, it still won’t matter whether it’s exclusive data or not. The winners control the messaging, product/service, offer, and brand. We simply provide you the contact data for a extremely low one-time price. If that’s considered expensive, I would ask that you do this just for 1 month yourself and let us know what it cost — the data access alone costs thousands ins subscriptions – so we firmly belive you’ll see the insane value of this deal.
It would be interesting to know how many German startups are in the list? Do you have reliable data for Germany? How many German startups could I expect to see each month?
it varies and is not really a country-specific service. if a startup – regardless of their location – got funded of which majority are in USA, UK, and EU, and they were publicized somewhere like Crunchbase or other sources, then we’ll likely capture it.
Also worth noting is that a startup may get that public release in a middle of month 1 but by the time it hits news or database sources, it’s month 2 so will get reflected in that month’s list.
Reguarding guarantees, its mentionned in the faq “we will offer a 2-year minimum guarantee. We’ll start it from when this deal goes live (June 2023)”
Was in 2023, willyou update?
Hi – We did offer that guarantee at the onset because a few people questioned whether we were able to maintain such a service. 3 years later, there’s no need to offer it as we’ve already proven ourselves and know this is a stellar deal.
If any other service can offers this and has demonstrated their commitment since 2023 (so now 3 years) without shutting down, then they’re a valid competitor worth evaluating. I’ve not seen any.
LeadBites is the only service that has offered a LTD for a monthly ‘service’. It pays for itself in 1 month – just compare to cost of any real competitor and what they charge per month for the same thing (but less leads).
Hope it clarifies our position.
