As a VC, I’m interested in working with companies with large-scale revenue potential, and that’s the company we envision. This work is unpaid, as with any other startup at the pre-seed stage. Once we’ve executed all the steps above, we go to VCs and raise seed capital of $1-2m. Q: Is this civic tech? A nonprofit?

I avoid the entertainment industry, and anything where the revenue stream is based on advertising. I prefer investing in health, transportation, education, and (under some very specific circumstances) finance. If your seed-stage company fits the criteria above, please contact me.

Entrepreneurs and investors who have spent any time dealing with convertible debt seed financing transactions are likely to have encountered the subject of valuation caps. The cap is irrelevant if the next equity financing is at a valuation below the cap amount.)

Actually, growth equity firms I find are best at this, because they have very specific financial criteria that they look for, such as ranges for revenue, ebitda, growth, etc. We don’t have such a section on our website (yet) and in some ways, the seed/early stage is more amorphous. Stage: Pre Product: 12.

And 2 seed stage companies that haven’t launched yet. You would think this is easy in the days of the Internet, but you’ll be surprised that just typing a query into Google doesn’t always yield the results you’re looking for. This introduces new risks in terms of forecasting, financing, and logistics.

Or you can find seed-stage investors who will give you the money to hire a developer. You’re asking someone to take a chance that with the code they deliver you can get funding or gain some revenue traction. That’s why you need to be looking for seed-stage investors at the same time as technologists.

Thirty-four VC firms in OpenVC call themselves “early-stage” Yet, 30% of those don’t actually invest in pre-revenue startups. Foundry Group, investing primarily in “ Software and Internet ”, follows six major themes, e.g., Human Computer Interaction (HCI) or Distribution. The phrase is quite ambiguous.
