Coverage is free; records need LP Radar. On the Fund Momentum MCP server, check_lp_coverage tells anyone, with no key, how many LPs match a country and LP type: counts only, never a name. search_lps returns LP records (name, type, HQ, geographic focus, website, emerging-manager backing), up to 25 per call with unlimited calls, and it can filter to LPs that have actually backed an emerging manager, which for a first-time fund is usually the only filter that matters. There is no separate LP key. The single API key already on your account, under Account Settings, is the one: LP Radar is an entitlement beside it, so a Free key can hold it and a Pro key can lack it. LP records are not sold per call, on agent credits or on the keyless trial, commitment history stays in the web app, and there is still no file export on any tier.
Stop guessing which LPs back a Fund I.
LP Radar is built from fund closings we report ourselves. It shows what LPs did, with commitment dates and fund sizes. Filter to the ones that backed a Fund I or II. Query it in the web app or from your agent over MCP.
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 LP Radar shows
An LP website states a mandate. Its commitments show what it funds. LP Radar records the commitments. Each entry traces back to a named fund closing.
Emerging-manager filter
One filter answers the question a Fund I manager cares about: has this LP backed a first or second fund before? Start there. Then check how recently it committed and who it co-invests with.
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.

Questions before you buy
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.
It covers every LP named in a fund closing since coverage began: currently 590+ LPs across 75+ countries, 470+ of them institutions and 110+ operators and angels the funds named themselves, 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. Individuals are published only when the fund named them in its own announcement; anyone who appears only through a register filing is never published.
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. A free account also opens three profiles in full, permanently, so the paid part can be judged before it is paid for.
EUR 199 a month, or EUR 1,499 a year for the same access. There is no feature ladder: both give every LP profile in full. The monthly option exists because a raise has an end date and an annual contract does not fit one; cancel the month it closes. The annual price is worth it from about seven and a half months onward. Prices are in EUR and payments are final: there are no refunds, which is why the free tier and its three full profiles exist. Pay by card on the plans page; access and your API key switch on right after payment.
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 10 new closings are covered per week, and each one can add new LPs or new commitments to profiles that already exist, so the list is larger every week than the week before.
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.
Email michael@fundmomentum.vc. Feedback is always welcome: a missing LP, a commitment that looks wrong, or a filter you would use and cannot find. Coverage grows from fund closings, so a pointer to the announcement that named an LP is the fastest way to get it added.
Yes. Email michael@fundmomentum.vc and the entry is corrected or removed. Accuracy comes before completeness here.
