Fundraising is difficult. On top of building a fundable business, founders need to find the right investors, build relationships, successfully pitch their companies, and more to close a round. In order to better help founders find the right investors, we’ve built a totally free, community-sourced investor database, Visible Connect.

SaaS startups and SaaS companies are commonly funded by different VC funds and angel investors. The list below is an active list of 60+ SaaS investors that are investing in seed rounds (some invest in later stages as well). The list uses our data from Visible Connect – we focus on key information like check size, investment location, fund size, and more. The link to “View their profile” will display firm information like their thesis, check sizes, focus, recent fund size, etc.

In order to better help you track your raise, you can also add investors directly from Visible Connect to your dedicated fundraising pipeline in Visible (Learn more about tracking a raise in Visible here).

How to Find More Active Seed Stage Investors

As the venture landscape continues to shift, seed and pre-seed rounds are starting to become standard. This means that there are more funding options for more startups. The investors above are all venture capital firms but funding options go beyond VC for startups:

  • Angel Investors — Like venture capitalists, angel investors buy equity in startups. An angel investor is generally a wealthy individual who is looking to invest spare cash in an alternative investment. As we wrote in our post, How to Effectively Find + Secure Angel Investors for Your Startup, “This means that an angel investor may have alternative motives (personal interest in the problem, product, founders, etc.) whereas a venture capital firm is focusing on maximizing their returns.”
  • Friends & Family — When raising capital from friends and family, it is incredibly important to be transparent during the process. Early stage companies are generally a very risky investment and can lead to a loss of capital. Consider who has expendable income in your immediate network when reaching out.
  • Crowdfunding — Over the last few years, crowdfunding has become a more popular way to raise equity financing. As the team at Republic defines it, ‘Crowdfunding is a way to raise money from a large number of people. Large groups of people pool together small individual investments to provide the capital needed to get a company or project off the ground. Individuals, charities or companies can create a campaign for specific causes and anyone can contribute.”

Perfect Your Seed Round Pitch With This Slide Deck

Once you find your target investors and kickoff your raise, you will likely need a well-prepared pitch deck to share with investors. As we wrote in Our Favorite Seed Round Pitch Deck Template, “there are certain expectations for an early-stage/seed-stage startup to present in their pitch deck. Founders should tailor and adjust their pitch based on who they’re reaching out to, but great seed round pitches come down to a few core things: a succinct but exciting story, an exceptional team, product potential or traction, and a growth plan.”
