About Fund Momentum
Fund Momentum is a specialized AI-powered tool built specifically for founders who are tired of pitching venture capital funds that have stopped deploying capital. Unlike traditional VC databases that rely on static snapshots, Fund Momentum actively tracks over 970 actively deploying VC funds with live General Partner (GP) intelligence.
Created by exited founder and advisor Michael Schneider, the platform offers unique features such as GP Signal Profiles—which provide thesis tags, bullish and contrarian signals, and specific Founder Dos & Don'ts. It also includes an MCP Server integration that allows users to connect tools like Claude or Cursor to query funds using plain language. Additionally, the proprietary FM15 ranking system scores funds based on founder alignment rather than assets under management (AUM).
