Family Offices That Cut Pre-Seed Checks (And How to Reach Them)

The investor list that saves you 40 hours of research and gets you in front of decision-makers who actually write checks

Most founders waste time chasing the wrong investors. VCs move slow, reject 99% of deals, and follow rigid investment cycles. But family offices? That’s a different game.

They’re flexible, long-term thinkers, and often write checks faster than VCs—without requiring you to pitch a full partnership or hit arbitrary traction milestones.

The problem: most founders don’t know which family offices actually invest at pre-seed, who to contact, or how to reach them.

So here’s something that will save you weeks of fundraising pain:
