Frequently asked
Does an AI startup need an AI-focused investor?
No. Most of the 8,572 are generalist funds with a handful of AI deals; a focused thesis matters mainly at pre-seed and in capital-intensive sub-sectors. Look for the partner who led the fund's last AI deal, not for the word in the fund's name.
How many investors do founders contact to get meetings?
Founders in our Raise Benchmarks reached 45 to 900 investors per round. in2ition.ai closed $1M from 4 investors. Besample reached 900 investors for 55 first meetings. AI rounds are crowded on both sides, so targeting matters more than volume.
How do I get a warm intro to an AI investor?
