How RightWho Works
Not keyword matching. Not database filtering. Evidence-driven intelligence.
Blueprint Generation
For a climate software investor brief, RightWho separates disclosed portfolio evidence, industrial technology relevance, stage, partner authority, and recency. A fund affiliation alone does not prove decision authority or current interest.

- A firm-level portfolio attributed to an individual without supporting evidence
- Past sector activity presented as current interest or available capital
Supporting Evidence
- Multiple public sources attribute relevant investments to the person
- Stage and sector thesis align with the search brief
- Role and board activity support individual decision responsibility

Scenario
Illustrative climate software investor search
The Challenge
Fund portfolio pages show firm activity but often do not identify which partner sourced, led, or currently supports a deal.
RightWho's Approach
Cross-check portfolio evidence, individual authority, written thesis, stage, and recency while leaving current interest unclaimed.
Outcome
The research list separates relevant investment evidence from assumptions that must be qualified directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does investor search show who is actively investing now?+
Not conclusively. Public sources can show past investments, stated thesis, and role authority, while current fund deployment and interest require confirmation.
How is an individual investment connected to a partner?+
Useful evidence includes named investment announcements, board roles, partner writing, and portfolio pages. Firm-level activity should not automatically be assigned to every team member.
Can I search by stage and geography?+
Yes, when those constraints are included in the brief and supported by public fund or portfolio information.
This page explains how to structure a professional search in RightWho. The displayed rows are fictional evidence examples, not identified people or results from a completed search.
Limitations: Public professional evidence can be incomplete or outdated. Availability, interest, intent, authority, and private business facts require direct confirmation before outreach or a decision.
