786 Seed-Stage Funds

What is this Seed Funds Database?

This directory contains 786 venture funds that focus specifically on seed-stage investments. Each record includes the firm name, headquarters location, stage focus (seed and/or early venture), number of funds raised, total fund size in millions, portfolio investment count, exit count, and gated links to the firm's website, Crunchbase profile, and LinkedIn page.

Why seed funds matter for early-stage founders

Seed funds are the most relevant investor category for founders raising their first institutional round. Unlike large multi-stage firms that may write seed checks opportunistically, dedicated seed funds have built their entire strategy around backing companies at the earliest stages. They typically write checks between $250K and $3M, and their partners have deep experience helping companies navigate the journey from product-market fit to Series A.

How to evaluate a seed fund

Look at three key signals. First, fund size tells you the check size they can write — a $30M fund writes very different checks than a $300M fund. Second, investment count indicates pace and selectivity. Third, exit count signals whether their portfolio companies are reaching meaningful outcomes.

Cross-reference this data with our Micro VC database for smaller funds, and the VC Firms database for firms that invest across multiple stages. Building a tiered outreach list across all three databases gives you comprehensive coverage of the seed investing landscape.
