VC Fund Database for Early-Stage Startups: 200+ Funds Under $200M Still Actively Investing
Discover 200+ early-stage VC funds with $200M or less in AUM, still deploying capital in 2025.
A database to help founders find VCs with fresh funds, focused mandates, and dry powder to back your next round.
Most investor lists are filled with noise.
They tell you who invests in early-stage—but not when they last raised, or whether they’re still actively deploying.
And here’s the truth most founders miss:
Fund size and vintage matter more than logos.
If a VC raised their fund 5 years ago, chances are they’re done deploying.
If their fund size is $800M, they’re likely moving upstream.
And if you're building at pre-seed or seed, that makes you invisible to them.
That’s why this new database of 200+ early-stage VC funds under $200M AUM is so valuable
Why This Database Matters
This isn’t just a list of names—it’s a fundraising shortcut built on insight:
Fund Size ≤ $200M: These are leaner funds that write early checks, support founders hands-on, and aren’t distracted by later-stage deals.
Fund Vintage ≤ 3 Years: That means they’re still in their investment period. The capital’s not locked up. The partner still needs to deploy.
Instead of cold-emailing hundreds of VCs who aren’t a fit, this gives you a curated, capital-active set of funds that actually have room in the portfolio for your company.
Why Fund Vintage is the Hidden Signal Most Founders Miss
One of the most important fundraising signals is also one of the least discussed:
When was their fund raised?
Here’s why it matters:
Most VCs raise a fund and deploy over 2–3 years.
After that, they reserve capital for follow-ons or raise a new fund.
If you reach out to a fund that’s 4+ years old and hasn’t raised again, they might love your company—but they probably can’t invest.
That’s why fund vintage is baked into this database.
In other words:
You’re not just finding VCs. You’re finding capital.
Who This Is For
This database is for:
Pre-seed or seed founders looking for institutional capital
First-time entrepreneurs without a big investor network
Operators launching in 2025 who want to move fast and pitch smarter
Anyone raising <$5M and needing conviction-driven funds, not whales
If you’re in AI, SaaS, Healthtech, Fintech, Climate, or any early-stage vertical—this saves you weeks of research.
