Clear answers on GitDealFlow pricing tiers, what's free, and how it compares to traditional deal-flow tools.
Yes — there's a free tier that gives you the top 20 trending startups across all 20 sectors. No credit card, no time limit. The free tier is genuinely useful for individual angels and scouts.
EUR 49/month. You get full sector filtering, startup search by name, API access, CSV exports, and the Scout Score tool. Approximately 1/2000th the cost of a PitchBook seat.
Crunchbase starts at $29/month (individual). PitchBook starts at ~$20K/year per seat. CB Insights starts at ~$40K/year. GitDealFlow is EUR 49/month — it's priced for individual investors and scouts, not institutional budgets.
Not yet. The product is currently individual-tier. Team features are on the roadmap. For now, each team member needs their own account.

The methodology is published as SSRN preprint 6606558 and validated against 219 documented fundraiser events.
The compressed answer works as a headline but it suppresses three qualifications that matter in practice. First, the signal is a leading indicator, not a guarantee: it correlates with fundraising, it does not predict it with certainty, and roughly 60 to 70 percent of flagged accelerations are followed by a round within the validation window. Second, the signal is strongest in software-heavy sectors where teams build and publish on GitHub; it is weaker in regulated industries where the real engineering happens in private repositories. Third, the signal is comparative: a startup that accelerates is interesting relative to its own baseline and relative to its sector peers, not in absolute terms.
In practice, the answer turns into a four-step workflow. Subscribe to the Sunday Signal Digest to receive a ranked weekly shortlist. Filter the shortlist to the two to four sectors that match your thesis. Cross-reference each name against your network for a warm-intro path. Reach out before the funding announcement window closes. The signal does the discovery work; the relationship work remains yours. Investors who treat the signal as a discovery feed rather than a prediction market tend to get more value out of it.
Once the headline question is answered, the natural follow-ups are about cost, about accuracy, and about how to integrate the signal into an existing workflow that already runs on Crunchbase, PitchBook, or a CRM. The FAQ hub collects those follow-ups; the free tier is enough to validate whether the signal is useful for your specific workflow before any paid commitment.
