Finding VCs that 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑙𝑦 invest in pre-seed is hard.

Here's a list of some VCs that do pre-seed funding (adding more as they come in):

Hustle Fund
Gaingels
Amplify.LA
Wonder Ventures
Precursor Ventures
Dorm Room Fund
Plug and Play Tech Center

RT for others ✌️

If you want VCs to chase you, update your LinkedIn employment to “stealth startup.”

This one might be funny, but it’s no joke.

Goodluck on your fundraising journey!

The best early-stage companies focus on:

- Assembling top tier talent
- Moving fast / iterating
- Customer feedback
- Getting to market
- Cash in the bank

Not competitors.

Startups can easily copy your product.

Startups can easily copy your sales efforts and marketing campaigns.

Startups cannot easily copy your brand, story, execution and community.

Harsh truth for startup founders

- You can have the best team
- You can have the best product

But without:

- An emotional founder story
- An eye-opening vision story
- A FOMO-inducing fundraise strategy

You’ll struggle to raise money.

A pitch is not just heard, it's felt.

Worked closely with the founders on their pitch deck.

- Crafted a compelling investor narrative
- Designed sleek, impactful slides

You don’t always necessarily need more clients.

You need better ones.

And you get better clients by doing better things:

- Clear positioning
- Creating demand
- Capturing demand
- Converting demand

Don’t think about more.

Think about less. But better.

You can build a great product with just five customers.

That will get you 95% of the feedback you need.

The last 5% will come from all the rest of your customers combined.

The trick is, you need to find those first five.

I love tearing down pitch decks

→ I look for weak parts.
→ I look for reasons to say NO.

Soooo many great startups struggling to raise funds because of the weak storytelling.

Way too often founders put effort into design.

Competely neglecting the power of a compelling story

Most startups present their financials slide in a bad way.

But this slide gets 2x more attention from investors.

And still startups:

→ Making it look better than it is
→ Adding unimportnant metrics
→ Making it hard to understand

This is how it should be done.

Startups FORGET ABOUT VCs,

- If your startup isn’t scalable
- Don't have a large market size
- Can’t offer 50-100x return at the Seed stage.

VCs are running a business, too.

Like founders, they raise money from investors.

Figma raised a $3.8M Seed + a $14M Series A all pre-revenue

So raising money isn’t about revenue ❌

In fact it was 3+ years before Figma had any of the common traction metrics (users, revenue, growth)

Does traction help?

Yes, but on the flip side. ✌️

Small reminder - businesses exist to sell products and services, not to fundraise.

Don’t fall into the trap of just becoming a fundraising machine.

Focus on what you’re building, not just attracting investors.

After interacting with over 300 investors and startups, I learned what investors want:

1. They want a powerful story
2. They invest in people
3. They love collaboration

This balanced approach ensures investors see not just the profit potential, but also a team they can trust.

I met the founder of a $10M revenue business.

He said every VC he spoke to rejected him, saying “market was too small”.

So he bootstrapped from $0 to $10M in 3 years:

He grew from 0 to 1,500 customers in one year. He captured 50% of Canada’s market.

Rejections fuels drive.

Raising a big round is the holy grail for most startups.

But, many think they can only get there with VC funding.

You need to have Customer Funding.

Some call this ”Revenue”

Money from customers is the best funding.

Before you build a startup write down

1. The customer
2. Their problems
3. Current solutions
4. Your solution
5. Why now
6. Why you

The last two are most important.

Market timing and founder fit.
