Seed activity in this category is led by specialist and regional funds rather than the accelerator ecosystem. Marketplace investment favors niche categories with supply-side lock-in over broad consumer commerce. For a company raising at this stage, these are the highest-velocity check writers in the category, and the accelerator and syndicate paths are often the most direct way to reach them.

The CapitalDart directory identifies the right person to contact at each of these firms, with their individual investment criteria.
