Best LP & Investor Databases for Emerging Managers (2025)

In today’s fundraising climate, data precision beats volume every time. Spray-and-pray lists, generic CRMs, and outdated LP directories don’t cut it anymore—especially if you’re raising Fund I, II, or III.

What you need is live intelligence: investor data that’s segmented, verified, and built for real conversations. This guide compares the top LP and investor databases of 2025—including pricing, strengths, and why Altss is the fastest-growing choice for fund managers, family office-backed founders, and PE professionals across the alternative asset space.

Altss — Purpose-Built for Fundraisers in the Alternative Asset Class

Best for: Fund managers raising Fund I–III, LP discovery, FO segmentation, custom targeting
Price: From $15,500/year with founder-friendly plans

Altss was created by fund managers who’ve raised over $7 billion. It’s designed from scratch for modern GPs and fundraisers—not as a CRM overlay, but as a full-stack LP intelligence system.

The platform includes verified access to over 1.5 million profiles, including 6,000+ family offices, along with deep firm-level enrichment, monthly OSINT-driven updates, and behavioral insights. Users also get access to custom LP research—not just filters, but thesis-aligned shortlists you can act on immediately.

By the end of 2025, Altss will offer full intelligence coverage across the alternative asset class:
fund managers, family offices, LPs, PE firms, and startups—all in one modern data environment.

Why fundraisers choose Altss:

• Verified LP profiles with contact accuracy and context
• 6,000+ active, segmented family offices
• Monthly refresh via OSINT and human QA
• Custom research on request (mandates, sectors, geographies)
• Built by fundraisers who know what it’s like to be in the room

Where it’s evolving:

• Real-time mandate tracking in beta, public rollout by Q3 2025
• Expanding to full ecosystem coverage (LPs, funds, GPs, PE, startups)

Altss isn’t just a list—it’s live, fundable LP intelligence designed to compress your raise.

PitchBook — Trusted for Deals, Not Outreach

Best for: M&A tracking, co-investment mapping, fund benchmarking
Price: $30,000+/year

PitchBook has long been a favorite for deal flow and fund analytics. But it wasn’t built for LP targeting or high-conversion outreach. Contacts are often stale, and segmentation lacks nuance for emerging managers.

What it does well:

• Detailed M&A and fund performance history
• Useful for PE and late-stage benchmarking

Where it lags:

• LP profiles often outdated or irrelevant
• Not optimized for outbound or discovery
• Expensive for early-stage funds

Preqin — Institutional Allocator Mandates, but a Heavy Lift

Best for: Institutional raises over $500M or managers with Fund IV+
Price: $15,000–$50,000/year

Preqin offers institutional mandate data but isn’t well-aligned with the needs of smaller or emerging GPs. For those not yet at scale, the pricing, workflow friction, and contact gaps make it more of a research tool than a targeting engine.

Strengths:

• Institutional allocator mandate visibility
• Large data archive

Limitations:

• Weak family office coverage
• Often missing actionable contact info
• Not optimized for smaller funds or direct sourcing

FINTRX — Useful for Wealth Org Mapping, but Shallow on Signals

Best for: Mapping family office org structures and relationships
Price: $18,000+/year

FINTRX is a private wealth database with clean org charts and relationship mapping, but lacks enrichment signals or mandate data. You can see who’s connected, but not what they’re investing in.

Strengths:

• Org-level structure across private wealth
• Relationship diagrams between firms and key people

Limitations:

• No real-time updates or behavioral signals
• No mandate insight or thematic targeting
• Not designed for personalized outreach

Dakota Marketplace — CRM with Event Access, Not Data Depth

Best for: Institutional event follow-ups and allocator workflows
Price: $15,500/year base + $1,000/user/month

Dakota helps firms manage relationships with institutional LPs, especially those met through Dakota-hosted events. It’s useful if you’re already inside that ecosystem, but lacks depth elsewhere.

Strengths:

• Access to LPs via Dakota’s allocator events
• CRM tools for contact tracking

Limitations:

• Limited segmentation
• No family office data
• Not built for discovery or enrichment

With Intelligence — Allocator News, Not Outreach

Best for: Tracking allocator news, shifts in flows, and industry coverage
Price: $18,000+/year

With Intelligence is strong on allocator news and market monitoring, but offers little in the way of actionable LP contact data or outreach support.

What it does well:

• Real-time allocator movement updates
• Optional allocator research reports

What it doesn’t do:

• Direct contact intelligence
• Enrichment or segmentation
• Personalized LP targeting

Dealroom — Good for European VC, Not Fundraising

Best for: EU venture ecosystems, startup discovery, VC mapping
Price: $12,000+/year

Dealroom is solid for startup intel in Europe, but it’s not meant for LP outreach or fundraise targeting. If you’re looking for family offices or allocator mandates, this isn’t the platform.

Strengths:

• Great coverage of EU startups and funds
• Good for landscape analysis

Limitations:

• Not built for LP targeting
• No enrichment or behavioral signals
• Weak outside Europe

Why Altss Is Becoming the Default for Fundraising GPs

Legacy platforms serve their purpose, but most weren’t built for today’s fundraising environment.

Altss is different. It’s an LP intelligence platform designed from the ground up for dealmakers—offering verified data, custom research, and modern enrichment across the entire alternative asset class.

By the end of 2025, Altss will cover the full ecosystem:
LPs, fund managers, PE firms, and startups—live, segmented, and verified.

For GPs raising capital in competitive markets, it’s not just better data. It’s a better way to raise.
