Frequently asked
Do I need a Boston investor to raise in Boston?
No. Boston funds invest across the US, and most US seed funds invest in Boston. Of the 140 funds based here, 93 have actually backed a local company, which is the column this table is sorted by. Headquarters tells you where the partners sit, not where they write cheques.
How many investors do founders contact to get meetings?
Founders in our Raise Benchmarks reached 45 to 900 investors per round. Callie Care closed $480K from 3 investors after 10 first meetings. Besample reached 900 investors for 55 first meetings. A wide, well-targeted list beats ten warm names.
