Okay pretty excited to share this with you. I've been playing around a bit with data we've harvested from the public internet about tech companies, startups, funding rounds and investors. I was specifically interested in VC firms and individuals that have backed companies during their Seed and Pre Seed rounds. The reason is we've been cooking on Employbl and are soon going to launch a rebuilt frontend using Next.js. That got me thinking that we might be able to raise money for this thing one day. My next thought was "well who are the firms that invest in the pre seed or seed stage?". We have that data at Employbl so I was able to query for it. In this post we'll showcase the firms that have made the most pre seed and seed stage investments since the beginning of 2021. I hope it's helpful for other founders or people interested in working for early stage startups!
In upcoming development we'll launch some more interactive functionality to explore this funding data, but in the meantime head over to the companies page or sign up for our newsletter to be first to know when we launch free tools for exploring startup funding data.
Investors that have made the most Seed and Pre Seed investments since the beginning of 2021
In the following table we have the Venture Capital firm's name, how many Seed and Pre Seed investments they've made since 2021 up to our latest data and all of the companies that the firm invested in at the Seed and Pre Seed stage. Click on a company name to see all of their funding round data including what firms have invested in the company at what round, plus the amounts.
You can also click on the investor name to see all companies the VC firm has invested in at any stage. The full data is available to explore under the Employbl companies search.
This data looks best on desktop...
