What DryPowder does differently
- Deployment signals, not just a list. A fund between vehicles can like your pitch and still not invest. DryPowder flags funds with fresh capital using SEC Form D filings and news of fund closes and new deals. See the latest at Form D filings.
- Built for seed and pre-seed. Fund profiles carry thesis, stages, sectors and check sizes, so first-time founders can filter to funds that write checks at their stage.
- The partner to contact. Partner names and titles are free to browse; email reveals come with paid plans (10/mo on Starter, unlimited on Signal and Raise).
How it works
- 1. Describe your startup. Stage, sector, location and what you're building.
- 2. Get matched funds. DryPowder ranks funds by thesis fit, stage and check size, and shows which are deploying now.
- 3. Reach the right partner. Open the fund profile, pick the partner whose focus fits, and reveal their email on a paid plan.

Is there a VC database with partner emails for seed and pre-seed founders?
Yes. DryPowder tracks 550+ venture funds with a focus on seed and pre-seed, and lists the partners at each fund with their titles. Partner email reveals are included in every paid plan: 10 a month on Starter ($39/mo) and unlimited on Signal ($99/mo) and Raise ($199/mo). Fund profiles and partner names are free to browse.
How is DryPowder different from other VC databases?
Most investor databases list every fund that has ever invested. DryPowder is built around timing: it flags which funds are deploying now, using SEC Form D filings (filed when a fund raises capital) and news signals such as fund closes and new investments, so you can spend outreach on funds that can actually write a check.
Where do DryPowder's fund and partner records come from?
Fund closes come from SEC Form D filings on EDGAR, which anyone can check, plus news signals. Fund profiles are enriched with each fund's stated thesis, stages, sectors and check sizes. The latest Form D filings DryPowder has picked up are listed publicly at /form-d-filings.
Can I try it free before paying?
Yes. Fund profiles, partner names, the /investors directory and the pre-seed investor finder are free with no account. A signed-out AI fund match shows your top match and how many funds matched; the full ranked list needs a plan. Partner email reveals need a paid plan.
Does DryPowder send emails to investors for me?
No. DryPowder doesn't automate outreach. It shows you which funds fit and are deploying, who the partners are, and how your startup fits each fund's thesis, so you can write a better first email yourself.
