Databases show who raised.
Veck shows who's about to.

Every round leaves a trail. It starts months before the news.
Veck reads that trail as it happens — the job change, the first follows, the quiet launch. Startup databases wait for the press release.

Everyone sees it
Illustrative timeline of a typical pre-seed founder.
Activity says something started.Attention says it matters.
Most tools read one side or the other. Veck reads both, and only calls it a signal when they land on the same company in the same few weeks.
- A repo starts climbing.
- A product launches.
- A bio changes to “building something new”.
Something started. On its own, unproven.
- Three seed partners follow the same founder.
- A fund's whole investment team connects.
Someone who funds companies thinks it matters.
A founder ships, and three investors who back founders like them start watching in the same week.
That is the card you open. Everything that only ever fires on one side is dropped.
Algorithm finds it. People check it.
Most sourcing tools ship whatever their model produces. Veck doesn't. Nothing reaches your feed until an analyst has checked the company, the people and the activity behind it — which is why the feed is short, and why what you open is worth your time.

Questions, answered in full.
Veck is a startup signal platform for early-stage investors. It monitors what more than 15,000 investors do in public across X, LinkedIn, GitHub and Product Hunt — who they follow, who they connect with, what they engage with — and turns that activity into human-reviewed signals about the startups and founders those investors are paying attention to. Where a startup database records a company once its round is announced, Veck surfaces the company while the round is still forming.
A round leaves a trail months before the press release: a founder changes their bio, several investors follow them inside the same week, a company name and first hires appear. Veck watches that trail across its four channels, scores and de-duplicates each data point with an AI pre-filter, then puts the surviving candidates in front of a human analyst who checks the company, the people and the activity behind it. Only what passes reaches your feed.
Veck tracks investor activity on X, LinkedIn, GitHub and Product Hunt — follows, connections, engagement, repository momentum and product launches — across a tracked set of more than 15,000 investor accounts and a graph of over 200,000 founders. The signal is deliberately narrow: rather than collecting every trace a founder leaves online, Veck reads which of those founders professional investors have started paying attention to.
Startup databases such as Crunchbase or PitchBook are records of what has already happened — they list a company once a round is announced and reported. Veck is a leading indicator rather than a record: its input is investor attention, which appears before an announcement exists. The practical difference is timing and filtering. A database tells you who raised; Veck tells you who several credible investors are circling, and does it months earlier.
Veck is built for early-stage VC funds, angel investors, and sales and go-to-market teams selling to new companies. Funds use it to source outside their partners' networks and to cover markets they have no presence in. Angels use it to act on fund-grade signals without an analyst team. Sales teams use it to reach companies at formation, before a vendor has been chosen.
Yes. Veck exposes the same data through a REST API, an MCP server that lets Claude or your own agents query signals in plain language, and connectors that push founders into Attio and Notion as they appear. See the documentation for endpoints and setup.
