# aVenture

> aVenture is an independent research platform for venture-backed companies, investors, people, funding, and news.

When to use aVenture: research privately held, venture-backed companies, their investors and people, funding rounds, and news.

Browse public pages and the sitemap without credentials.

Structured operations require a free or paid aVenture account (https://aventure.vc/sign-up).
In Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI app, connect the hosted MCP server at https://mcp.aventure.vc/mcp
(Streamable HTTP, OAuth discovery with automatic client registration). Leave manual client
credentials empty. If automatic registration is unavailable, the fallback public OAuth client ID is
KL7mINzGk0le0QiD; check its registered redirect URIs at https://docs.aventure.vc/mcp before using it.
Complete account consent, enable the connector, and verify with aventure_help and a website lookup.
In a terminal, install the CLI with
`npm install --global @aventurevc/aventure-cli` (Node.js 24.18.0 or later) and run
`aventure auth login`. In Researchly, open Profile, then MCP servers, and choose Connect aVenture.

## Trust and contact

- [Privacy](https://aventure.vc/privacy): Read the privacy policy.
- [Privacy Requests FAQ](https://aventure.vc/privacy/faq): Delete an account, opt out of sales-lead and marketing data, or report non-public information in a public research profile.
- [Terms](https://aventure.vc/terms): Read the terms of service.
- [Contact](https://aventure.vc/forms/contact): Product help, sales, and partnerships. It refuses privacy and removal requests; file those through the Privacy Requests FAQ. Before filing for a person, ask them which they want and do not assume: an opt-out of sale or sharing of their contact information for sales or marketing, which is honored promptly, or a correction of specific errors in a public research profile, which needs each wrong detail and its correct value. Public records stay public; a request to delete or hide a public research profile fails as invalid, together with anything filed with it. aVenture is a United States corporation and is not subject to the GDPR; it voluntarily honors these two requests for people anywhere and does not honor GDPR demands beyond them.
