Almost every entry is mapped from a published fund closing that Fund Momentum covers, typically within 24 hours of the announcement. A small number come from primary institutional sources instead, where a region has real activity but no coverage on the blog yet, and those carry the originating document. Nothing is bought from a contact vendor and nothing is inferred.
Know which LPs are writing cheques, and what they wrote them for.
Free LP Radar tells you who an institution is. Full access tells you what it has been doing: every documented commitment, the fund size and stage behind it, when it happened, and the pattern that connects them. Built from the fund closings Fund Momentum publishes every week, so it stays current without anyone maintaining a contact list.
Does LP Radar cover your segment?
Tell it where you invest and in what. It comes back with how many institutions in the data have backed comparable funds, how many of those have backed a first or second fund, and three of them by name.
What full access adds
Full commitment history
Every fund an LP has backed, with size, stage, geography and sector. The free profile shows a count. This shows the list.
Recency
When each commitment happened and how long since this LP last allocated. An LP that closed a position last month behaves very differently from one that has been quiet for three years.
Allocation pattern
Typical fund size band, preferred geographies and sectors, and whether the LP has backed first-time managers. Derived from what it actually did, not from a stated mandate on a website.
Co-investing LPs
Which other institutions keep showing up in the same funds. Useful when one warm introduction can reasonably lead to the next.
Weekly movement digest
A short summary of which LPs committed to what in the past week, filtered to the fund sizes and geographies you care about.
What you are paying for
Most LP databases are built from US public pension disclosures, because those are the filings that can be scraped at scale. That is why the same names appear in all of them, and why a fund under $100M finds little it can use. LP Radar is built from the fund closings themselves, across the EU, US and UK, so it covers the family offices, corporates, foundations, national fund-of-funds and development finance institutions that actually back funds at that size. Many of them appear in no other database.
Card payment is not live yet, so access is arranged by hand. Send a request and you get an invoice and your login within one working day. Nothing is charged when you submit.
You do not need to request anything to start. Registration is open, takes a minute, and every account gets three LP profiles opened in full, permanently. Request access when you have seen enough to want the rest.
Billing: bank transfer against invoice, 14-day payment terms, full VAT details on the invoice. Access is activated as soon as payment is confirmed. Purchase orders and annual invoicing for institutions are fine — mention it in your request.

One thing worth stating plainly: roughly half of all fund closings name no LPs at all. Fund Momentum records those as undisclosed rather than hiding the gap, so the Radar always shows you where coverage ends. Individual and angel backers are recorded internally but never published.
Questions before you buy
It covers every LP named in a fund closing since coverage began: currently 260+ institutions across 50 countries, weighted towards the EU, the US and the UK. Roughly seven in ten closings that mention their LP base still name no one, and those are marked as undisclosed rather than filled in with guesswork, so you always know where the record ends. Institutions are published; individual and angel backers are not.
Free covers who an institution is: name, type, headquarters, geographic focus, website and how many commitments are on record. Full access covers what it has been doing: the commitment list itself, fund sizes, commitment dates, how recently it allocated, its allocation pattern and the LPs that keep appearing in the same funds.
No, and that is deliberate. Part of this data comes from public registers that also name private individuals, and a spreadsheet on someone's laptop cannot be corrected the way a page can. Keeping it in the product is also what lets it stay current: commitments change, and an export is out of date the moment it is written.
Continuously. Every new fund announcement is swept for LP mentions the moment it publishes, and a scheduled pass re-checks the archive every six hours. Around 30 new closings are covered per week.
Start from behaviour rather than from a name list. Filter for the fund sizes, geographies and sectors an LP has actually backed, check whether it has committed to first-time managers, then look at its co-investors to find the institutions that keep appearing alongside it. That combination gets you a shortlist of 60 to 120 credible targets instead of a spreadsheet of thousands.
Yes. Email michael@fundmomentum.vc and the entry is corrected or removed. Accuracy comes before completeness here.
