Investors no longer just announce deals. They post signals now: lists, maps, a read of the market.
But few do it regularly.
VCs who post market signals (last 2 months)
Scraped from the public LinkedIn signals of 3,000 climate and impact VCs. See the full study.
Sharing signals works.
Signals beat announcements, whatever the audience size.
Median likes, within the same investor
And it is practical. A signal does not wait for a deal, it is something a VC can post any week.

Use VCs' growing need for visibility as a lever to win and keep customers.
For VCs
Access to signals that make their content far more relevant, as Hugo's example shows.
Turn fund managers into the data-backed voice of their niche: they post real findings from your data, you get distribution and credibility, the founders and LPs around them notice.
Each turn brings in a new voice and more reach for Evertrace.
Clay
managed creators
Creators are Clay's best growth channel, ahead of ads.
lemlist
partners worldwide
Grown through affiliates and ambassadors, with up to 22% recurring commission.
Notion
ambassadors, 23 countries
Unpaid by design, capped at 20 new a month to keep the bar high.
VCs have little time.
They mostly post about their own portfolio and their fund, not about the founders they spotted.
The climate voices already worth amplifying, by niche.

I rework this with your feedback.
Next week
One hour together to set the plan: the first niches and headline voices, the KPIs, and how we continue if it works.
Then
A one-month pilot, with a short weekly check-in.
If it beats your other channels, we scale. If not, you will have lost no money, just two or three hours of your time.
Evertrace reads people from the signals they leave. Here are three of mine.
Turning attention into pipeline is most of what I have done.
I am close to how the fund world actually works.
I build for outcomes, not for show.
If the creator program works, signals turned into content could become a feature for your platform. One Harmonic does not have, that keeps customers from churning, and that works in private too, for LP updates and IC memos.
