Why Now Is a Good Time to Pitch These Funds

Market timing context for Seed investors

Fresh Dry Powder

Funds that have filed with the SEC in the last 12 months are still in active deployment mode. The earlier in a fund's cycle you pitch, the more receptive GPs tend to be — they have capital to put to work and portfolio construction is not yet locked in.

Verified Activity Signals

Every fund listed here has a recent SEC Form D filing, confirming they have raised capital and are authorized to invest. This eliminates zombie funds that are listed on directories but are no longer writing checks.

Deployment Urgency

Most VC funds have a 3–5 year deployment window. Funds with recent filings face internal pressure to invest their committed capital within that window, making them more likely to move quickly when they find a strong fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Seed investment and how large are the checks?

A Seed investment is written once a startup has initial product-market fit signals, often with a small but growing customer base. Seed funds help companies reach the metrics required for a Series A.. Check sizes at this stage typically range from $500K – $3M. The exact amount depends on valuation, how competitive the deal is, and whether co-investors are participating in the round.

How many Seed investors are actively writing checks in 2026?

Our database shows 100 Seed investors with SEC Form D filings from the last 12 months, indicating active capital deployment. This number fluctuates as new funds close and established funds fully deploy their capital.

What metrics do Seed investors expect to see?

Seed investors typically want to see $10K–$50K MRR or 1,000+ active users, evidence of retention (DAU/MAU > 20%), and a clear path to the Series A metrics ($1M+ ARR). Investors at this stage also weigh team composition heavily — relevant domain expertise and a track record of execution matter as much as the numbers.

How do I find the right Seed investor for my startup?

Filter by industry above to see Seed investors in your specific sector. Then review each fund's portfolio on their website to confirm they invest in similar companies. Prioritize funds where you can get a warm introduction through shared investors, advisors, or portfolio founders.

How long does a Seed fundraise typically take?

Most founders spend 2–4 months on a Seed round, from first outreach to signed term sheet. Allow another 4–8 weeks for legal documentation and closing. Starting the process 3–6 months before you run out of runway is strongly recommended to avoid negotiating from a position of weakness.
