Where it sits. The directory is part of market intelligence: the investors are inside your workspace before you type a record. Add one and it joins your own emails, meetings and notes, under your team's access rules.
Five ways in
Start from the question you have
A person, a company, a firm, a ranked list or the Saudi ecosystem: each one opens onto the same directory, and every filtered view is a link you can send.
Directory counts. The companies here are the ones with funding rounds and backers on record, a separate set from the 17M companies covered across Ishara.
Describe a raise and the directory ranks itself for you. How matching works
The cheque filter
Keep only the investors who write your cheque
Name the amount you are raising and the directory keeps the investors whose declared range holds it. A $500k cheque keeps $250k to $1M and drops the $1M to $5M growth fund. Pick a preset or type any amount.
Stack it with stage, sector, location and signals such as Leads rounds, then sort by Biggest cheque, Leads most, Largest fund or Most deals. The result is a link your co-founder opens to the same list.
Example data
Deep profiles
The dossier you would build by hand, on one screen
Thesis, track record, career, press, peers and ranked-list seats, with a photo and the links to read further.
Below the fold, the track record lists rounds by stage with the companies behind them, and any company opens its own backers. In your workspace, the profile also shows your warm paths into the investor and prepares a brief before the meeting. Add to CRM creates one Investor record and reuses it the next time.

5,200+ ranked lists
A Top-100 list opens in its published order, each seat linked to a profile. Add the whole list to a raise pipeline in one step.

Frequently asked questions
What is on an investor profile?
The thesis as sector, stage and geography chips, the career, press, peers and ranked-list seats, then the track record by stage with the companies behind it. In your workspace you also see your warm paths into the investor and can ask for a prep brief.
How is the cheque filter different from a range filter?
It keeps only investors whose declared range holds your amount. A $500k cheque keeps $250k to $1M and drops $1M to $5M, so a growth fund never crowds a seed shortlist.
Can I add a whole ranked list to a pipeline?
Yes. Add a ranked list to a raise pipeline in one step. Investors already in your CRM are reused, never duplicated.
Is the Saudi ecosystem in Arabic?
Yes. The 1,793 organisations carry Arabic and English names and descriptions, search matches both, and Add to CRM copies an organisation into your Companies object once.
