The fastest way to assemble an investor hit list

Hey everyone,

My company open sourced an Angular/Rails project for querying Crunchbase data. The most useful thing I've found (for my startup friends) is that you can easily find out who has recently been investing a certain dollar amount in a certain industry. If you're looking for investment, it's good to know who is active in the space.

What do you think? Useful?

    Great job! I'm sure I'll be using this extensively.

    For now, I've been backing into this type of information by looking at AngelList's Startups/Companies section (https://angel.co/companies) and searching for patterns with their plethora of filters. I find AngelList to have better curation such as categories like Productivity that don't exist in Crunchbase. Maybe you might have better quality data piggybacking off the AngelList API (https://angel.co/api)

    I think people that like this will also love https://mattermark.com/ . It's like Bloomberg for the startup world.
