AI Verdict
Confidence: HighMarket has established players, Capfern shows negative growth at tiny scale ($75 MRR), and investor data alone isn't defensible. Better opportunities exist in adjacent spaces like investor relationship management.

Capfern
Capfern bietet E-Mails und Mobiltelefonnummern von Venture-Capital-Gebern und Business Angels an. Ich habe 2.000 US-Dollar für Daten und verifizierte Kontakte ausgegeben.
Capfern sells VC contact data but struggles at $75 MRR with -9.6% monthly growth, indicating poor product-market fit.
