This page is written in plain English. If you've never used a Dean's List before, start right here.
This is a curated shortlist of 60 real venture investors, hand-selected out of a much larger master database because their stated thesis, stage mandate, fund size and seniority make them a strong match for Higgins.ai's raise: an enterprise aiSaaS platform raising a $1M pre-seed SAFE. Every investor is scored 0–100 with the P.I.T.C.H. system and grouped into a tier so you know who to approach first.
This is a demo so Higgins.ai can test the value of a Dean's List before paying to unlock it. The firm, role, thesis, check size, stage and fit score are all real and visible. The individual contact's name, direct email, phone and LinkedIn are masked — you'll see a 🔒 badge everywhere that data exists but is locked. Unlocking replaces every 🔒 with the real name and a one-click send.
Every investor gets a 0–100 fit score and a Tier (1–2 in this preview). Tier 1 = approach first.
Open any investor and read the ready-to-send email Higgins.ai would use to reach them — fully written, just the name is locked.
If the fit and copy look right, unlock the full list to get the name, verified email/phone/LinkedIn, and the rest of the ranked pool.
This dashboard demonstrates the Higgins Reports Dean's List product: a curated, scored, outreach-ready investor shortlist for a specific company's raise — here, Higgins.ai's own $1M pre-seed SAFE.
Starting from the Higgins Reports master investor database, 1406 venture investors tagged as AI / enterprise-software / fintech-adjacent focused were re-scored specifically against Higgins.ai's company facts (AI-powered enterprise SaaS, pre-seed stage, $1M SAFE, $252K ARR, 606% YoY growth). The top 60, capped at two contacts per firm for diversity, make up this Dean's List — 45 Tier 1 and 15 Tier 2 investors across 50 distinct firms.
The P.I.T.C.H. Score rates each investor across five 20-point dimensions for a 100-point total, estimating how strong a target they are for this specific raise. See the P.I.T.C.H. System tab for the full rubric.
Tier 1 (80–100) approach first · Tier 2 (66–79) strong first-wave · Tier 3 (52–65) developing · Tier 4 (<52) emerging. This preview only surfaces Tier 1 and Tier 2 — the strongest matches — to keep the demo focused.
P.I.T.C.H. is the Higgins Reports scoring system that rates every startup–investor pair across 5 dimensions worth 20 points each, for a 100-point Fit Score. Here it's calibrated specifically to Higgins.ai's profile: AI-powered enterprise SaaS, pre-seed stage, raising a $1M SAFE.
