Frequently asked

Q1

What counts as an active pre-seed investor here?

At least one pre-seed deal on record, at least one deal of any stage in the past year, and a partner we can actually reach. The last condition is what makes this list shorter than a database dump: an investor nobody can contact is not a lead.

Q2

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.

Q3

How do I get a warm intro to these investors?
