There are very few must have tools for me. The visibility and insight that Specter allows me is second to none and simply could not live without it these days.

Harry Stebbings

Founder of 20VC

Now we spend far less time on infrastructure and spend more of our time building those relationships and investing behind the best founders in our ecosystems. I think Specter will become table stakes for any fund that wants to be in the top quartile.

Specter allows me to narrow or expand the scope of searches at will, without needing to build or maintain any of the data pipelines and infrastructure myself. Using it on a daily basis is super powerful.

We've already found one of our investments through Specter! That being said, its value extends beyond pure sourcing. Signals provide a level of intelligence that's valuable throughout the entire investment lifecycle.

We've invested in a founder with roots at Stanford and Wharton. They were a rising star in their industry with a strong technical background. We found them as a Stealth signal through Specter.

Tools like Specter surface early talent signals, company foundations, team moves, and nascent traction, beyond what internal scouts can manually track. We see companies we wouldn't see otherwise.
