DryPowder is a fundraising research tool that shows founders which seed and pre-seed venture capital funds are deploying capital right now. It tracks 550+ VC funds and flags which ones are deploying using recent activity signals, built from SEC Form D filings and news about new investments and fund closes.
It is built for founders raising a pre-seed or seed round, especially first-time founders who do not yet have an investor network and need to know which funds are actually writing checks before they start outreach.
Fund profiles are free to browse. Paid plans start at $39/mo (Starter), with Signal at $99/mo and Raise at $199/mo. Annual billing is also available. See pricing.

DryPowder flags a fund as currently deploying when there is evidence it is investing now, such as a new fund close or recent investments found in SEC Form D filings and the news. Browse seed funds by sector and city in the investor directory, and see every venture fund that filed a Form D in the last 60 days on the Form D filings page. Paid plans add an actively-deploying filter and signal alerts.

Use the free Pre-Seed Investor Finder: pick your sector and city to see pre-seed funds that fit, ranked by Form D and news signals. You can also browse all pre-seed investors, or describe your company in the match tool to get a ranked shortlist (the Starter plan includes 3 AI matches a month).
Yes. DryPowder tracks 550+ VC funds with partner names and titles on each fund profile. Partner email reveals come with paid plans: 10 a month on Starter ($39/mo), unlimited on Signal and Raise. Emails are verified on reveal, and if an address bounces you get the credit back.
A Form D is the notice a fund files with the SEC when it raises money under Regulation D, so a fresh filing is the clearest public sign a fund has new capital to deploy. DryPowder collects venture fund Form D filings from SEC EDGAR daily and lists the last 60 days, each linked to the original filing on sec.gov.
The seed fintech investor page lists seed-stage funds with a fintech focus, with their published check sizes, stated thesis and HQ city. For dated evidence of recent activity, such as a Form D filing or a seed-round announcement, see the seed funds deploying now page. You can narrow by city too, for example fintech investors in New York.
