Methodology
- Which funds. Funds tagged seed or pre-seed that have a public DryPowder profile (468 today).
- What counts. In the last 60 days: an SEC Form D filed by the fund, a funding-round, new-fund or portfolio news item that names the fund, or a deal tracked on its profile. General news and commentary do not count.
- SPVs excluded. Each Form D's raw filer name is checked on SEC EDGAR. SPV, "series of" and co-invest vehicles are dropped, and so is any filing whose filer name does not carry the fund's name or cannot be looked up.
- Ranking. Most recent evidence first, then the number of signals in the window. Funds are matched to filings and news by exact name, so a fund that files under a different name can be missed.
- Freshness. Rebuilt at most every hour. Last updated Oct 16, 2026.

The full ranked list is on this page.
Which VCs just raised new funds (Form D)?
4 of the funds on this list filed a real-fund SEC Form D in the last 60 days. A Form D is filed when a fund raises or has just closed capital. SPVs and single-deal series vehicles are excluded. Every recent venture Form D, including non-seed funds, is listed on DryPowder's Form D filings page.
What counts as deployment evidence?
A fund appears if, in the last 60 days, it filed an SEC Form D for a real fund vehicle, was named in news of a pre-seed or seed round or of a new fund close, or had a deal tracked on its DryPowder profile. Later-stage rounds, valuation stories and commentary that only mentions a fund do not count.
Why are SPVs excluded?
An SPV or a "series of" vehicle raises money for one deal, so its Form D says nothing about a fund having fresh capital for new seed checks. Each filing's raw entity name on SEC EDGAR is checked, and SPV, series and co-invest filers are dropped.
How often is this list updated?
The page is rebuilt from DryPowder's data at most every hour. Form D filings are collected daily from SEC EDGAR, and news signals several times a day. Last updated Oct 16, 2026.
