Questions founders ask

We list 32 investors that name AgriTech among the sectors they back, out of 447 in the directory. The count changes as profiles are added and checked.

Counting the profiles here: 32 VC firms, 6 micro VCs and 3 angel networks. Open a profile to see the other sectors and stages the investor covers.
What should a AgriTech founder check before writing to an investor?
Check that the investor names your sector and your stage on its profile, then look at what it has backed before and whether it has put money into a direct competitor. Confirm the current focus on the investor's own site, since a sector label on a directory is only a starting point.
Does an investor that names several sectors take them equally seriously?
Not always. A generalist may name many sectors and decide on the team and the market, while a specialist names few and knows them well. A specialist is more useful when you need help beyond money, and a generalist when your business crosses sectors.
Can I approach an investor that does not list my sector?
You can, but the odds are lower and the note has to explain why your company fits what the investor has backed. Lead with the investors that name your sector and stage.
