Questions founders ask.

What does it take for an investor to appear here?

A publicly documented, named participation in a pre-seed hardware financing announced within the last 6 months, with the evidence linked on the row. Investors whose latest evidence ages past 180 days are removed at the weekly refresh. Recent activity means a fund is deploying; it does not guarantee they take cold approaches this month, which is why the fastest path is a matched, drafted introduction.

How do I see which of these investors fit my startup?

Upload your pitch deck and complete your SeedForge profile at seedforge.com, and your matched investor list unlocks free, with a personalised LinkedIn intro drafted per partner. You approve every message, then send the intros yourself or connect LinkedIn and SeedForge runs the outreach.

Does SeedForge publish investor contact details?

Never. Public pages carry professional data with its evidence. Contact paths, warm-intro routes and drafted intros live inside the product and unlock when a founder completes a profile.

Stop guessing which investors to chase. See your matches.

Upload your deck and complete your profile, and your full matched list unlocks free: the investors that fit your stage, sector and geography, each with a drafted intro. You approve every message before anything is sent.

How this list is built (method v1.13)

An investor appears on this page only with a named, dated participation in a financing announced in the last 180 days, backed by a public source linked on the row. Dates shown are when each deal was announced, as established by research; where the linked post was published later, its date is shown beneath as "evidence posted". A separately confirmed closing date appears on the fund page where research established one. Rows whose latest evidence ages past 180 days are removed at the weekly rebuild, and rows with insufficient evidence are withheld rather than padded.

This list is free to use and cite. Investor contact details are never published.
