Frequently asked

Q1

Does a media and entertainment startup need a media and entertainment-focused investor?

No. Most of the 4,984 are generalist funds with a handful of media and entertainment 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 media and entertainment deal, not for the word in the fund's name.

Q2

How many investors do founders contact to get meetings?

Founders in our Raise Benchmarks reached 45 to 900 investors per round. Besample reached 900 investors for 55 first meetings. Media and entertainment rounds are crowded on both sides, so targeting matters more than volume.

Q3
