The largest list of Venture Capital Firms - 44 VC Lists

Over the last years I have helped hundreds of founders raise money for their startup. And one of the questions that comes up the most is.

Where do I find potential VC or angel investors for my startup? 

I get it. Most founders who are getting started in the industry don’t have a strong network. But I got you covered. There are tons of ways out there to find the right investor for your business.

But always be aware that it is more about the right approach than finding them in the first place. Your best chance is to get a foot in the door by warm intros. Of course cold emails can also work but the chances are way lower. If you want to go that route nevertheless make sure to check out our investor email templates.

But enough said. Let’s jump into our different lists of investors.
