What check size do series a VCs write?

How do I get a meeting with a series a VC?

A warm intro is still the fastest path. Most series a VCs on DryPowder do accept cold outreach or direct applications, but response rates vary widely by fund. Before reaching out, use DryPowder's AI matching to get a fit score and specific talking points. Founders who lead with thesis-aligned framing get significantly better response rates than those sending the same deck to every fund on a list.

How long does a Series A process typically take?

Series A processes average 4-6 months. Unlike seed, you will navigate formal partner meetings, IC presentations, data room reviews, and reference calls. First meeting to term sheet alone takes 6-10 weeks at most firms. Running a compressed, competitive process where you approach all target investors in the same short window tends to produce faster decisions and better terms than a sequential approach.

How many series a investors should I be talking to at once?

Most fundraisers recommend a parallel process: identify 20-40 target investors but approach your highest-fit funds first. Of the 11 series a funds currently deploying, not all will match your specific stage and sector. Use fund matching to find your top 10-15, approach those first, collect feedback, then go wider. Going to every fund simultaneously without qualifying first burns bridges and dilutes the urgency that helps close a round.

How is DryPowder different from building a VC list on LinkedIn or Crunchbase?

The fund list you build on LinkedIn or Crunchbase is roughly the same list every other founder is building. DryPowder adds three things a manual search cannot: deployment signals (which funds have recently closed new vehicles and are actively writing checks), AI thesis matching (which of the 11 series a funds actually fits your specific startup, ranked by fit), and verified partner contact details. The goal is 15 targeted, thesis-aligned pitches instead of 150 generic ones.
