Pre-seed VCs from New York City

Starting today, we are changing the format of this newsletter to make it even more valuable and useful.

We will start sending you investor lists several times a week, and later, on all weekdays.

The lists will be smaller, so that you can quickly take action on them.

20 investors at a time, from our curated database.

The first 10 are free for all, the next 10 require a paid tier (at a no-brainer price).

I am still figuring it out, so your feedback and ideas will be most welcome (by replying to this email). Thank you!

Today, we selected 20 active pre-seed VCs from our database, all from NYC.  

Our team reviewed, checked, and enriched the list with the necessary data.

* The first 10 are free. Join our paid tier at a no-brainer price for full access.
