Ask HN: Which VC is allowing founders to pitch their idea with just a prototype?

2 points by aashaykumar92 10 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


A few months ago, a VC firm announced that they were going to allow a certain amount of pitches per month which only required an MVP. Does anyone know which one? Thanks!

Most VC firms that make seed investments will hear pitches from founders who just have an idea. However this would require for you to be in the VC's sweet spot in terms of vertical or that you get a referral from someone who knows the VC personally.

Not sure about the specific one you're asking about. I'd recommend looking at what seed-stage funds like to invest in your vertical and then seeing if anyone in your network has a connection there.

As long as you get introduced/meet in the right place, pretty much every non-famous VC will. A lot of people don't even have prototypes. And honestly, they'll only care about seeing the prototype if it's the sort of thing that you can use on spot or they really get your vertical.
