Funding figures in your toolbar
Open it on any website and the money picture for the company behind it arrives without a new tab, a search box or an account.
Installing takes a minute
Four steps, all inside your browser. Nothing to sign up for.
- 01
Download and unzip
Press the button, then unzip the file. You end up with a folder holding manifest.json.
- 02
Open the extensions page
Paste chrome://extensions into the address bar, then turn on Developer mode in the top right.
- 03
Load the folder
Click Load unpacked and choose the folder you just unzipped. Fundlens appears in the list.
- 04
Pin it to the toolbar
Click the puzzle piece next to the address bar and pin Fundlens so it stays one click away.
The extensions page cannot be opened from a link, so copy this into your browser instead: chrome://extensions
Three ways to check a company
- One click on any site
- Open it while you are on a website and it reads that domain, then shows valuation, total raised, latest round and revenue run rate.
- Type fl in the address bar
- Type fl, press space, then any domain. The full report opens in a new tab without leaving the keyboard.
- Right-click anything
- Right-click a page or a link and choose Look up this site on Fundlens to jump straight to the company behind it.
Good to know
- Why Chrome asks for Developer mode
- This is your own copy rather than a Chrome Web Store listing, so Chrome loads it from the folder on your computer. Keep that folder somewhere permanent, because Chrome reads it every time it starts.
- What it sends
- Only the domain of the tab you are looking at, and only in the moment you open it. No browsing history, no page contents, no account.
- Getting a newer version
- Come back here, download again, replace the folder, then press the refresh arrow on the Fundlens card in the extensions page.
