CapRaise Score and Deal-Maker Score are proven predictors of a company exploring fundraising.

A high CapRaise Score indicates that employees/mgmt team of a company are researching articles related to raising funding.

Deal-Maker Score is a supplemental indicator of fundraising intent that flags companies researched by employees of VCs/PEs and intermediaries.

CapRaise Backtest Results

We’ve analyzed 500 funding events (Series B – F, growth equity, debt financing) that have been announced in H1 of 2024 as compared to a randomly selected control group of 500 similar companies that haven’t raised funding. Based on the backtest, we’ve determined that the CapRaise Score is most effective at predicting growth equity, debt financing, PIPO, and Series C raises for companies with 50 to 500 employees in the Software, Manufacturing, Finance, and Healthcare industries. The resulting model is trained to predict these raises 4 – 9 months prior to the announcement.
