Pre-Seed founders: stop spraying 200 cold emails.If you’re raising in 2026, focus on funds that actually lead early and still write checks at Pre-Seed.

Here are 15 active VCs you should already have on your radar:

• Apertu Capital 

• Boost VC 

• Cortado Ventures 

• Everywhere Ventures 

• FirstMile Ventures 

• Grand Ventures 

• Incisive Ventures 

• Motivate Venture Capital 

• NuFund Venture Group 

• Red Swan Ventures 

• Right Side Capital Management 

• Sidecut Ventures 

• Telegraph Hill Capital 

• r0 Capital (formerly Uncorrelated Capital) 

• WestWave Capital 

But here’s the real edge:Pre-Seed isn’t about the deck.

It’s about signal density.

✔️ Warm intro > cold inbound

✔️ Clear wedge > big vision

✔️ Early traction > perfect product

✔️ Narrative consistency > buzzwords

Most founders lose not because of a weak idea 

but because they target funds that don’t actually lead at their stage.

If you’re raising Pre-Seed this year, tighten your list.

Depth beats volume.
