In an effort to better categorize our dataset, we’ve removed Funding Platform as a value for Investor Type and changed it to an Industry value instead. We made this update because organizations that are considered funding platforms don’t always operate as an investor.
If you’ve built saved searches based on specific types of investment firms using the search filter Investors > Investor Type > Funding Platform, you may notice that your searches are not returning the same results because of these changes.
If you’d like to still search for investors who are Funding Platforms, here’s how you can modify your search:
1) Open your existing investor saved search - or, create a new investor search.
2) Select the filters Basic Info > Organization Info > Industries.
3) Type in ‘Funding Platform’ as the value to include for this filter, then hit Search.
NOTE: You can also use a Companies search to find funding platforms, by simply inputting ‘Funding Platform’ as the Industries filter value.
