Series B Investors: Angels and VC Firms

RaiseHunt currently lists 35,867 Series B investors.

Both. 2,107 are angel investors putting in their own money, and 33,760 are people making investment decisions at 8,817 firms.

The largest concentrations are in New York, San Francisco and London.

Every profile shows whether an email address is on file. The addresses themselves, along with AI matching and outreach, are in the RaiseHunt app.

Yes. The directory and every profile page are free to read. Matching your own startup against them requires an account.

Before you formally open the round. Early conversations that are not a pitch let you learn what this group expects to see at Series B, and they make the eventual ask a follow-up rather than a cold approach.

Look at what they have already funded rather than what their profile says they like. Stage matters most, then sector, then geography. An investor who has never funded anything at your stage is unlikely to start with you, however well the sector lines up.

Longer than most first-time founders plan for. The work splits into building the list, running outreach, taking meetings, and closing, and each stage can stretch. Start before you need the money, not when the runway is short.

The team and the problem, in that order, before the product. Early on there is rarely enough traction to argue from numbers alone, so the question they are answering is whether these particular people are likely to work this problem out.

Several, in almost every case. A single backer concentrates the risk of the round collapsing if that one conversation goes cold, and a group brings more introductions later. Rounds are usually assembled from a lead plus others who follow.

Follow up with new information rather than a reminder. A short note saying what changed since you last wrote gives the reader a reason to reply, where "just checking in" gives them none. Two or three of those, spaced out, is normal and expected.
