📊 Best Investor & LP Databases for Emerging Managers in 2025

The LP landscape is changing — here’s how to stay ahead. In today’s fundraising environment, precision beats volume. Whether you’re raising Fund I or scaling a mid-sized vehicle, your ability to identify, qualify, and convert LPs hinges on the quality of your data stack. Below is a breakdown of the top LP and investor intelligence platforms — including verified pricing, use cases, and a look at how Altss is on track to dominate the space in both data quality and scale.

🔹 Altss — Raising the Standard for LP Data

Best for: Emerging managers, fund I–III, RIA/FO targeting, high-efficiency outreach Pricing: From $15,500/year, with friendly plans for first-time GPs Overview: Altss is purpose-built by fund managers who’ve raised over $7B, designed to address everything legacy platforms missed. It offers verified access to over 1.5 million LPs, including 5,000+ family offices and 40,000+ RIAs, with OSINT-driven monthly enrichment.

While real-time LP mandate tracking is in rollout, Altss already delivers custom research — a rare offering that lets GPs request tailored LP lists based on sector, strategy, geography, and mandate fit.

⚡ In the next 3–4 months, Altss is on pace to have both the highest-quality and the largest LP dataset in the alternative asset space, surpassing all legacy platforms in relevance, freshness, and depth.

🔹 PitchBook — Trusted for Deals, Not Outreach

Best for: M&A, fund benchmarking, co-invest mapping Pricing: $30,000+/year Pros: ✅ Extensive fund history & transaction data Cons: ⚠️ LP mandates often outdated or too generic ❌ High pricing not suited for emerging GPs

🔹 Preqin — Strong Mandates — If You're Institutional

Best for: Fund IV+ or raises over $500M Pricing: $15,000–$50,000/year Pros: ✅ Excellent mandates for institutional allocators Cons: ❌ UI is outdated ❌ LP contacts are often stale or inaccessible

Best for: Allocator access + LP events Pricing: $15,500/year + $1,000/user Pros: ✅ Allocator CRM + exclusive LP events Cons: ❌ No real mandate or FO coverage ❌ Limited LP segmentation

🔹 With Intelligence — Strong for LP Media Monitoring

Best for: IR teams and allocator research Pricing: $18,000+/year Pros: ✅ Real-time allocator news + flows ✅ Offers custom allocator research reports Cons: ❌ No enrichment or direct outreach functionality

🧠 Final Takeaways

• Altss is the only LP platform combining verified real-time contact data, flexible custom research, and the roadmap to dominate the alternative asset space by Q3 2025.

• Legacy platforms like PitchBook and Preqin serve institutional use cases, but fall short for emerging GPs needing speed, relevance, and cost-efficiency.

• Altss outperforms in every key metric: data freshness, FO/HNWI depth, usability, and cost-performance ratio.

• With Intelligence is a solid complement for LP trends and allocator news — not for direct outreach.

• For Europe, Dealroom fills a VC/angel discovery gap but isn’t LP-focused.

🎯 Choose Altss if you want the platform GPs are switching to — and legacy firms are trying to catch up with.
