Before you pitch, ask
Three questions worth an honest answer
- Does this firm write the cheque you need, at the stage you are actually at?
- What would a partner here need to believe about your market, and can you show it?
- Who could introduce you, and would they do it gladly?
How to read this
Indicative, not gospel
Figures are approximate ranges from public sources, November 2026. Funds change focus often, so confirm on the firm’s own site before you pitch.
- Typical cheque: the usual first investment, not fund size.
- Team: approximate size of the investing team.
- Open door: a public application, pitch form or programme. Intro needed: warm introductions carry most weight.
