Live Signal Feed

Know which LPs are writing checks before they announce it

LPSignal monitors public pension boards, endowment reports, and RFP postings to surface institutional allocators actively deploying into venture and PE. Stop cold-calling. Start warm-calling.

How it works

Monitor public filings

We track board minutes, RFP postings, and regulatory filings from the 50 largest US public pensions plus major endowments. CalPERS, CalSTRS, Texas Teachers, NY State Common, and more.

Filter for allocation signals

NLP identifies mentions of new commitments, increased alternatives allocations, and manager searches. Noise like rebalancing and existing re-ups gets flagged separately.

Extract structured data

LP name, allocation size, target strategy, contact info, and source links. All structured and CRM-ready. Export to CSV anytime.

Deliver to your inbox

Our sources

Seven tiers of public institutional data — from FOIA-mandated pension disclosures to SEC filings and procurement portals.

50+ Public pension funds monitored — CalPERS, CalSTRS, Texas TRS, WSIB, Oregon OIC, NY State Common, Florida SBA, and every major state system. Board minutes, investment committee materials, and quarterly PE performance tables with fund names, vintage years, and capital committed.
10K+ Foundation 990 filings scanned — IRS Form 990-PF requires private foundations to disclose LP commitments by name. Ford, MacArthur, Gates, Bloomberg, and thousands more via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search.
SEC Form D pipeline tracker — Filed within 15 days of raising capital. Fund name, amount raised, number of investors. The earliest public signal a fund is actively raising. Plus Form ADV and 13F for allocation shifts.
30+ University endowment reports tracked — UC (FOIA-eligible, famously disclosed Sequoia commitments), UTIMCO, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, MIT. Annual reports, allocation targets, and investment committee minutes. When an endowment increases its VC/PE target, new commitments follow.
Live RFP/RFI postings from procurement portals — The highest-intent signal: an LP actively looking to deploy capital. Pension procurement pages, state portals (BidSync, MERX), and ILPA. Board meeting calendars published a year in advance — we track agendas posted 1–2 weeks before commitment votes.
