This guide explains how to complete the search fields in Cyndx Raiser to help you identify the right investors for your capital raising efforts. It also includes tips to maximize the value of your searches.
The Raiser search algorithm generates a curated list of financial and strategic investors who are active in your selected industry. These investors have shown interest in companies at a similar stage based on their historical investment activity.
Start a Search
Sign in ▶ Sign into the platform at app.cyndx.com, then open the Raiser tab.
No access? Reach out to [email protected].
Company seeking investor ▶ Begin typing the name of the company you're fundraising for, then select it from the dropdown. If it doesn't appear, try searching by URL. Still can't find it? You can request to add it to our database.
Check this article for more info: I can't find a company in the Raiser search bar.
In the meantime, consider using a similar competitor as a proxy.
Concepts ▶ You have the option to enter concepts related to the industry or sector of the company. This is a free-text field, so be specific to maximize relevance (e.g., “telehealth,” “peptide manufacturing”).
Enter a comparable ▶ Optionally, add one or more comparables or competitors to better target investors with relevant deal histories. This helps our algorithm generate more accurate results.
Example: Let’s say you work in FinTech, and your website is tailored to appeal to finance-focused investors. As a result, Cyndx may map your company more heavily in the finance space based on how your services are described online. However, if you're aiming to reach tech-focused investors—even though your website isn’t tech-heavy—adding tech-oriented comparable can guide the algorithm toward those investor profiles.
Helpful hint: Not sure which competitors to enter? Try using Finder or request a courtesy Finder run at [email protected].
Raise Amount ▶ Enter the amount you’re looking to raise.
Helpful hint: You can also input an exit amount here if you're seeking potential acquirers. After your search, the Strategic Investors tab might offer helpful insights.
Debt Financing ▶ Select Yes or No for debt financing. If no selection is made, the default is No.
Result limit ▶ Choose to return up to 100, 500, or 1000 results to maximize visibility.
Hit search button ▶ Click the arrow button to run your search. This will use one Raiser search count.
