Frequently Asked Questions

What is a micro-VC firm?

Micro-VC firms manage funds under $100M (typically $10-50M) and focus on seed and pre-seed investments with check sizes of $100K to $1M. They often provide more hands-on support than larger firms.

Why choose a micro-VC over a larger firm?

Micro-VCs offer more personal attention, faster decision-making, deeper operational support, and your company represents a larger portion of their fund — aligning incentives more closely.

How many micro-VC firms are there?

There are over 1,000 micro-VC firms globally, with the number growing as experienced operators launch smaller, specialized funds focused on specific stages, sectors, or geographies.
