Resources

Gilion maintains a comprehensive directory of over 500 active pre-seed investors 1, while NFX tracks over 1,700 marketplace-focused pre-seed investors 6. These databases are regularly updated and provide detailed information about investor preferences and activities.

Initial plan

I have worked out a plan of action that I will follow to solve the task.

Step 1

First, I'll search for current information about pre-seed venture capital firms and angel investors. I'm looking for lists or databases that are up-to-date (ideally from 2024-2025).

Step 2

I've got some promising search results. Let's examine a few of the most relevant links to get detailed information about pre-seed investors. The "Top Pre-Seed Investors & VC Firms in 2025" from Gilion and "Top 50 Pre-Seed Angel Investors (2025)" from Eqvista look particularly relevant. I'll start by visiting these pages to extract the investor information.

Step 3

The page seems to be showing different categories of pre-seed investors but I need to navigate through it to find the actual investor lists. Let me check another promising result from my search, the Eqvista page about top pre-seed angel investors.

Step 4

Let me continue exploring the Eqvista page to see the actual list of pre-seed angel investors. I'll scroll down to see more content.

Updated plan

I have updated my plan of action based on the new information I have gathered.

Step 5

Let me continue gathering more details from the Eqvista page. I'll scroll down to see the rest of the angel investor list, and then I'll explore the other resources we found in our initial search.

Step 6

I see that I've reached the end of the Eqvista page. It appears that the page was displaying a table with the top 50 pre-seed angel investors, but I didn't get to see the full table. Let me try to use the find_on_page_ctrl_f function to locate the table and see if I can extract more information.

Step 7

I need to scroll down to see more of the table with the angel investors. Let me use page_down() to see more of the table.

Step 8

It seems I'm not able to see the complete table of pre-seed angel investors from the Eqvista page. Let me visit some of the other resources identified in our search results to gather more investor information, particularly about venture capital firms. First, let's check the Seedtable's "30 Best Active Pre Seed Investors in 2025" resource.

Updated Plan

I have updated my plan of action based on the new information I have gathered.

Step 9

Let me continue by scrolling down on the Seedtable page to see more of the 30 top pre-seed VCs.

Step 10

I'm gathering some good VC firm information from the Seedtable page. So far I have: 1. 83North - Israeli-based VC, check size $100K-$500K 2. Ring Capital - Paris-based, founded 2017, investments in Pre-Seed to Series B, check size $100K-$30M, focuses on Climate Tech & Green Tech, Edtech, FinTech 3. Sequoia Capital - Well-established VC (founded 1972), check size $100K-$500K (for pre-seed) Let me continue scrolling to see more firms, and then I'll look at the other resources we identified.

Step 11

I'm gathering valuable information about pre-seed VC firms. Let me now check one of the other resources we identified, the RocketDevs page with the "Top 58 Pre-Seed Stage VC Firms".

Step 12

The RocketDevs page provides some context about pre-seed VC firms, but I don't see the actual list of the 58 firms yet. Let me scroll down to see if the list is further down on the page.
