903 European Seed Funds You Can Actually Reach

Every firm on this list publishes a direct email or a deck submission route. The dead ends are already removed.

Most investor lists have the same flaw: half the rows are a firm name, a website, and no way in. You spend the evening researching contacts instead of writing to them.

So this one is built the other way around. 903 seed-stage venture firms across Europe, kept only if they can be contacted today: 287 with a direct email, 386 with a deck submission link, and 230 with both. Firm, country, city, sector focus, and a Way In column that tells you which route to take before you click anything.

It covers the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, the Nordics, Spain, the Benelux and eastern Europe, with filters, a coverage tab that recalculates as you cut it down, and scoring columns so 903 becomes your 40.

What it sits next to

This file is one piece of a library that took two years to build, and honestly, the list matters less than what you do after it. So here is what a subscription actually opens, in the order a raise uses it.

You start with targets. The list of investor lists is the map, and the ones founders pull most are the 2,000+ European family offices with named decision-makers, the 300+ VCs that take cold pitches, and the 180 emerging funds actively deploying. Raising for a fund instead? The top 100 global pension funds is where GPs go. There is a new list every week, which is why the library keeps growing under you.

Then you write. The outreach system is the sequence I would run with this exact database, and the 375 Prompt Book covers everything from the first message to the term sheet call.

And at some point they ask for the deck. The 200+ decks that actually raised beat any template, the unicorn decks before the billions show what early-stage really looked like for companies you now know, and Anthropic’s 2022 deck is the one everyone opens first. When the numbers need to hold up, the financial models library has the cap tables and runway models ready to adapt.

One subscription, all of it, plus today’s file.
