How these VC lists work
Generalist stage lists
A firm must be labeled Generalist, name the stage as a primary focus, and report either “Mostly Lead” or “Can Lead” to enter a lead list. “Mostly Follow” firms enter the corresponding follow list instead.
Round lists
These lists include generalist and specialist firms that identify the selected stage and report “Mostly Lead” or “Can Lead,” or “Mostly Follow.” “Inception / Pre-Seed” matches the database stage “Pre-Seed / Inception.” Stage and lead/follow fields are firm-reported preferences, not a guarantee of participation in a particular financing.
Specialist lists
A firm must be labeled Specialist and carry the exact specialization shown on the page. Firms with several genuine specializations appear in each relevant list; generalists do not enter sector lists.
Sector + Stage
These lists combine an exact specialization with an exact primary-stage tag. They include only firms labeled Specialist; a sector tag alone does not qualify.
Seed leads by sector
These lists include specialist firms with an exact sector tag and Seed stage who report Mostly Lead or Can Lead, excluding firms that also report Mostly Follow. Lead and stage values are reported preferences, not a promise to lead a round.
Source and maintenance
Every page is generated from the same public Airtable-backed database as the main search experience. Firm profiles expose the underlying thesis, team, source links and update path used to keep the information current.
