All of French tech, right inside your AI

Examples: your data, cross-checked with the database

Founder: "Here's our deck. Who funded our competitors, and who's missing from our pipeline?" Your 5 competitors add up to 25 rounds and 38 investors. For a Series A, 2 stand out: Partech and Hedosophia, both in Pennylane's Series A. They were missing from your pipeline: I added them. Fundraiser: "New mandate: a B2B fintech is raising an €8M Series A. Which funds should we target first?" Since 2024, more than 30 fintech Series A rounds in France, funded by more than 130 investors. Kima Ventures leads with 4 rounds, ahead of several funds on 3, including 115K and 13books Capital. Neither has seen one of your mandates: they open the list. VC fund: "Here's our thesis. Which deeptech companies are heading for a Series A, and which haven't we seen?" Nearly 40 deeptech companies raised a seed in 2024 and haven't raised since, all active: mostly in health, then climate and industry. That's your Series A pool. 29 were missing from your dealflow. Law firm: "Which SaaS companies will soon raise their Series B, and which aren't clients yet?" Nearly 40 SaaS companies raised their Series A between September 2024 and March 2025 and haven't raised since: the pool for upcoming Series B rounds. Their profiles name more than 100 founders. 6 are already clients, the others land in your CRM. Headhunter: "VP Sales search in cybersecurity. Which companies just raised enough to hire?" In 12 months, 5 cybersecurity companies raised a Series A or B, €81M in total, including Qevlar AI (Series B, €25.8M). All 5 are in your ATS, with their founders and executives.

What your agents can do, role by role.

The database enriches what you already have

Your AI reads the database through Builders MCP, then writes into your tools through their own connectors. Nothing to export, nothing to retype. CRM: Every company in your pipeline filled in: rounds, amounts, investors, status. Notion: A monitoring database kept current: the rounds in your sector, month after month. Sourcing tool: Your targets cross-checked against the database: who funded them, when, alongside whom. Outbound: Companies that just raised, in lists ready for your sequences. Tailored: Sync your whole CRM, run a monitoring agent without you: we build it with you.

6 tools on the Builders Republic database

search_funds: The 800 active funds in France: stage, ticket, geography, ability to lead a round, real activity, AUM. search_deals: The 5,000 tracked rounds: sector, business model, stage, region, amount, investors involved. It also tells you who funded a given company, and who a fund or an angel co-invests with. search_startups: The 4,000 funded companies, and what became of them: active, acquired or dead. get_investor: A fund, a partner or a business angel: thesis, documented tickets, portfolio, recent rounds. Former investors are flagged when their departure is documented. get_startup: A company: identity, status, badges, tracked rounds, founders, legal officers, investors on the cap table. match_investors: The investors that fit a specific raise, ranked with dated, quantified evidence. Angels who invested in the sector and teams based in France are prioritised.

Connect your AI

Add the server address in your AI (Claude, Claude Code or Codex), then sign in with your Builders Republic account: nothing to install, no key to create. For a script or an automation, an API key goes in the Authorization header. The connector is included in the Pro plan.

3 rules, enforced server-side

Nothing made up: The connector only returns what the database holds, and asks your AI to stick to it: if a piece of information is missing, it must say so rather than invent it. A business angel's ticket only appears if they declared it or a source published it. Figures reviewed by real VCs: The fund database (theses, stages, tickets) is curated by hand by the team. Rounds are entered and checked one by one; the announced amount, debt included, and the equity are never conflated. A company marked dead is backed by the published court ruling. Reasonable use: The connector is included in Pro, with no row allowance to watch. Overall figures (how many, who is most active, what breakdown) don't count, and only a safety cap stops runaway usage, such as an agent stuck in a loop. In your settings, you can see what your AI looked up this month, tool by tool.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Builders Republic MCP connector?

It is an MCP server (Model Context Protocol), the standard that lets an AI call an outside service. It connects Claude, Claude Code or Codex to our database: 4,000 funded companies, 5,000 tracked rounds, 800 funds, 1,500 VC investors and 1,400 business angels, all linked together. Your AI asks in plain language, the server answers with what the database holds.

Which AI tools can I connect?

Claude (web, desktop and mobile), Claude Code and Codex: each one's setup is on this page. More broadly, any client that speaks MCP over HTTP will do, through OAuth sign-in or with an API key in the Authorization header.

What data does the connector serve?

Six tools: search funds, rounds and companies, read an investor's or a company's profile, and rank the investors that fit a specific raise. No contact data is ever served, no email address and no phone number: the database answers who funded, founded or runs what.

What does Builders Republic see of my data?

Nothing of your context. The server receives a question's parameters (a sector, a stage, a company name), never your documents or your CRM: your AI keeps those on its side, and it is your AI that writes into your tools, through their own connectors. We only record your access's usage, meaning which tool was called and how many rows were served, to show your consumption and enforce the safety cap.

Do I need a subscription?

Yes, the connector is included in the Pro plan, with reasonable use: no row allowance to watch. Overall figures don't count, and only a safety cap stops runaway usage, such as an agent stuck in a loop. You sign in from your AI, and you can revoke access whenever you want, from your settings.

How long does it take to connect?

One minute, with nothing to install: add the server address in your AI, then sign in with your Builders Republic account. The whole setup is three steps, detailed above on this page.

Where does the data come from, and how far can I trust it?

The database is maintained by hand by two former VCs. Funds are curated one by one (thesis, stages, tickets), rounds are entered and checked one by one, and a company marked dead is backed by the published court ruling. The connector asks your AI to stick to what the database holds: if a piece of information is missing, it must say so rather than invent it.
