Best Tracxn Alternatives for Early-Stage VC Deals

TL;DR: Tracxn alternatives with real-time GitHub signals. GitDealFlow detects funding readiness 21-47 days before public announcements.

The problem: Tracxn is a great database, but it reports funding AFTER it happens. GitDealFlow detects signals BEFORE rounds are announced. That is the difference between sourcing and following.
