Capital Radar

Overview

Capital Radar is a hosted web platform for researching private-market investors, funds and companies. It suits private-market professionals whose fundraising, diligence or monitoring work depends on linking those records. Connected search and visible match signals are its strongest case; the full platform starts at $1,490 per year.

Key features

Search spans LPs, GPs, funds and companies, while matching connects LP mandates, fund strategies and investor preferences and shows the components behind each match. That combination can help fundraising teams find aligned investors and researchers map relationships across the market. Coverage includes 62,000+ fund vehicles, 12,000+ GPs and investors, 1,700+ LP organizations, 46,000+ private companies and 46,000+ hiring records as of July 2026.

Deal sourcing, first-pass diligence, portfolio-change monitoring and exit-readiness research are the central workflows. Hiring signals, watchlists and briefs support ongoing monitoring as well as individual searches. Scores are prioritization signals, not conclusions: the platform displays supporting evidence and confidence, and missing data can lower confidence rather than register as a confirmed negative. That is a useful distinction when deciding which leads or changes merit deeper review.

The maker describes a data process that combines structured public and licensed sources, authorized operator files and manual observations, then applies normalization, identity resolution and human corrections. This explains how records are brought together, but the stated coverage alone does not establish how current any individual record is. Users should treat the product as informational intelligence and workflow software; it is not investment, legal, tax or financial advice.

Access is account-based and invite-controlled, with standard, viewer and administrative roles. Production traffic uses HTTPS, and the maker says it does not claim certifications it has not obtained. Vercel handles hosting, Supabase data services and authentication, Stripe subscription payments, and Resend email delivery. Approved users receive onboarding, and product, company, security and data-rights questions can be directed to [email protected].

Pricing

Radar Brief costs nothing, billed $0/year. It includes a weekly market briefing, selected fundraising signals, one chart or map, and product and research updates. It is a sensible way to follow a narrow stream of market signals, but it does not include the connected profiles, matching and monitoring tools that define the broader platform.

Capital Radar Platform costs $1,490 a year, billed $1,490/year. Founding access is $990/year for the first 50 members. This individual plan adds fundraising and startup radars, LP, GP, fund and company profiles, capital and investor matching, ecosystem maps, connected search, hiring signals, watchlists, briefs and Radar Intelligence. It is the relevant tier for an individual doing regular research across these workflows; the annual commitment makes it a substantial step up from the free briefing.

Capital Radar Teams has custom pricing. It includes everything in individual access, plus multiple seats, shared workflows, team onboarding, export requirements review, data-permission alignment and priority support. It fits groups coordinating research and access across colleagues, though teams will need a custom quote to assess the cost. Data export is supported, and the plan specifically includes a review of export requirements.

Platforms

Capital Radar is available on the web. Its account-based access and role distinctions suit controlled organizational use, while the web-only format may not suit readers seeking a dedicated desktop or mobile application.

Who it's for

The strongest fit is private-market professionals handling fundraising, manager research, private-equity origination, diligence, portfolio monitoring or private-company intelligence. Fundraisers can use the mandate and strategy matching to prioritize investor prospects; researchers can use connected records for first-pass diligence and market mapping; portfolio teams can follow company and hiring signals. It is less compelling for someone who needs only a weekly overview, since Radar Brief is limited to selected signals and a single chart or map, or for anyone seeking investment advice.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Connected search and visible matching components bring investor, fund and company research into a shared workflow, helping users move from prospecting to diligence.
• Pro: Broad stated coverage across funds, investors, LP organizations, private companies and hiring records supports several research tasks in one platform.
• Pro: Scores expose evidence and confidence, with missing data treated as uncertainty rather than a confirmed negative.
• Con: The full individual platform costs $1,490/year, so the free briefing is a much narrower entry point for readers who need profiles, matching or monitoring.
• Con: Team access uses custom pricing, requiring a quote before an organization can judge its budget fit.
• Con: The platform is web-only, and its scores are prioritization aids rather than investment or diligence conclusions.

Verdict

Its visible matching logic and broad stated coverage make the $1,490/year individual plan easier to justify for recurring research than for occasional lookups.
