Funnel Hub · 10 entry points

Every door into VC Deal Flow Signal, on one page.

Most products hide their funnels. We do the opposite, surface every entry point so the visitor self-selects the door that matches the way they want to buy. This is that page.

How to use this page

Free if you’re browsing. €7 if you want the data on your thesis. €49/mo if you want the full live dashboard. €197 if you want it earlier than Monday. €497 if your fund needs custom integration. €1,997 if you want one written sector report and you’re done. There’s no wrong door, only doors that fit different check sizes.

Not sure which door, and you don’t read code?

That’s most people, and none of these require you to read code. Start with the free Sunday digest five startups a week, in plain English. If a specific question is already costing you a meeting, test one sector for €7 before you commit to anything monthly.

The ladder, visualised

The customer-centric value ladder. Free at the bottom, higher commitment at each rung. You don’t skip rungs, you climb when the previous rung paid for itself.

[Free]Acceleration Watch: weekly email, no commitment, builds the habit.
[€7]First Look Pass: first dollar, tests whether the data fits your thesis.
[€49/mo]Dashboard: daily-rhythm tool, the founding price is locked forever.
[€97/mo]Insider Circle: earlier signal, private community, monthly briefing.
[€497/mo]Sharp Tier: fund-grade integration, application-gated, capped at 8.
[€1,997 one-time]Sector Sweep: full written report on one sector, end-of-quarter rhythm.

Two quieter doors

These don’t fit the ladder neatly but they’re real entry points into the same product surface.

Origin → the story behind why hearing about the company late became the problem, and why earlier public movement became the signal worth building around.
About the founder → identity, backstory, three parables, the polarity that drew you here, and the character flaws this product has on purpose.
Free MCP server → npx @gitdealflow/mcp-signal six read-only tools inside Claude, Cursor, or any MCP host. Free forever, never gated.
7-Day Deal Flow Reset Challenge → an alternate email sequence, seven days, seven five-minute exercises on specific GitHub signals.

If you only do one thing

Take the 90-second quiz. It tells you which door fits. Most people overpay for tools they barely use, or skip the one that would have paid for itself the first month.

For funnel builders · how this site is built

Everything below is build-notes, not a buying decision.

If you came to evaluate the product, you’re done, pick a door above. The rest of this page is for marketers reverse-engineering how the site itself is assembled: the component map and the competitor-teardown method. Nothing here is something you need to read or understand to use the signal.

The 26 building blocks

The 26 Building Blocks, and where each one lives.

Every funnel on this site is assembled from the same 26 direct-response components, the canonical 23 from the workbook plus three site-side anchor blocks: the monthly Founder Talk, the audience-overlap roster, and the monthly Insider Drop continuity programme. If you’re reverse-engineering us - or building your own, here’s the map.

Reverse-engineering frame

How to reverse-engineer a funnel, applied to our category.

The methodology in three steps: find the leaders, walk every page of their funnel, write down what they’re optimising for. Here’s how that read on the three deal-flow tools most buyers compare us to.

Harmonic.ai

Enterprise · partner-budget

Lead funnel: demo request gated on company size + AUM. No free tier, no tripwire.
Bridge: sales call with named partner. The funnel is the call, there’s no self-serve.
Stack: "we cover 20M+ companies." Quantity-anchored, not signal-anchored.
Close: annual contract, six-figure price band, custom-MSA negotiation.
Read: built for partners with €100k+/yr data budgets. Not for smaller check-writers who want earlier signal without procurement.

Tracxn

Enterprise · sector-coverage play

Lead funnel: "request a sector report", gated lead form, sales-led nurture.
Bridge: sample report PDF + sales rep outreach inside 24h.
Stack: "1,200+ sector reports, 250 analysts." Effort-anchored, not lead-time-anchored.
Close: annual subscription, 5-figure entry, custom seats.
Read: sector-coverage play. Their edge is breadth; their weakness is the lag between event and report.

Affinity / SignalFire

CRM-first · network-graph

Lead funnel: ICP is "VC partner with a Salesforce-or-Affinity choice." Bottom-up adoption inside funds.
Bridge: Chrome extension + Gmail integration, the funnel is workflow integration.
Stack: network-graph + warm-intro routing. "Who in your firm knows the founder?"
Close: seat-based, fund-wide rollout, multi-year.
Read: network-graph plays double down on the warm-intro economy. We do the opposite, we replace it with public data.

The funnel-hack we’re running

Three enterprise tools, three six-figure price bands, three sales-led funnels. They share an assumption: the buyer is a partner at a fund. We don’t reverse-engineer their pricing we reverse-engineer their blind spot. The smaller check-writer wanting earlier signal isn’t their ICP. We built the funnel for that buyer instead, €49/mo, self-serve, agent-readable, methodology-published. Same data economy, different ladder.
