Aaron Harris speeds up his founder-facing VC matching tool
The tool asks founders for a URL or deck, then returns a tailored investor list based on Harris's claimed venture data set.

Why it matters
Investor discovery is crowded with spreadsheets, warm-intro networks, and CRM tools. Harris is betting that proprietary venture data can turn that messy first step into software, but founders still have to trust how the list is produced.
Aaron Harris (@harris) said in a thread on X that his fund recommendations tool is now 3x faster and can generate a tailored list of venture investors from a founder's URL or deck.
Harris framed the update around founder time, writing that "Founders don't enough have time" before pointing users to the fund recommendations page. The pitch is direct: submit company material, get a list of VCs who Harris says "should" want to invest.
The numbers behind the product are still company-supplied. Harris says the recommendations are based on "15 years & 115,000 rounds of venture data," but the thread does not describe the data sources, coverage, scoring method, or whether investors can influence their placement.
Harris also said the recommendation feature is already embedded in a fundraise management tool he had posted about a day earlier. That makes the update less a standalone calculator than a wedge into founder fundraising workflow: identify likely investors, then manage the process in the same stack.
