Introducing Funding Pass

Published: May 2026

Today we're launching a new product alongside Fundup AI: Funding Pass.

Funding Pass is for people who want the data without the dashboard. One Excel file every Tuesday. ~150 hand-picked funded companies. One verified contact per company, matched to your buyer persona. $99 a year.

That's the whole product.

Why we built it

Fundup AI is a full funding intelligence and sales prospecting platform. Search, filters, ICP scoring, Ask AI, Spend Intents, CRM sync, the works. Most of our customers love that.

But over the past year we kept hearing variations of the same thing:

"I just want the list. I'll do my own outreach."

These users didn't want a dashboard. They didn't want to learn another tool. They wanted a clean Excel of recently funded companies, with a real contact at each one, delivered to their inbox.

We could keep nudging them toward Fundup AI's Growth plan and hoping they'd find the value in the full platform. Or we could build the simpler product they were actually asking for.

We chose the second.

What's in each weekly Excel

  • Around 150 funded companies from the previous week
  • Filtered to skip mega-rounds (over $50M), grants, debt, and crowdfunding
  • Sorted by funding amount, ascending, so small early-stage rounds get attention first
  • One persona-matched contact per company: name, title, LinkedIn, verified email where available
  • A Spend Intent signal per company (Hiring, Marketing, R&D, Product, Infrastructure, Sales) so you know roughly where the money is going
  • Row highlighting based on your stated ICP: hot matches in green, warm in yellow

You set your preferences once at signup. Every Tuesday afternoon (Madrid time), the Excel lands. The download link stays valid for 31 days, then gets replaced by the next week's report.

Who it's not for

If you want a real-time search interface, multi-user dashboards, CRM integration, or AI assistance, Funding Pass is not the right product. Fundup AI's main platform is.

If you want unlimited contact reveals or to query companies by 30 different criteria, also not Funding Pass. Funding Pass curates one view: small-to-mid funded companies sorted by amount. Take it or leave it.

The whole point is fewer choices, less friction. Around 7,800 hand-picked leads a year. Less than 2 cents each.

How to get it

Funding Pass is available now at fundup.ai/funding-pass. $99 for the year. Two purchase options: annual subscription (auto-renews, locked rate) or one-time 12-month access (no renewal).

30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked within the first 30 days.

If it turns out not to be the right product for you, our main platform is at fundup.ai/pricing.

We hope you'll love Funding Pass as much as we did building it.
