FUNDING TYPE

Venture Capital

CAN YOU GET THIS?

Any founder at pre-seed or seed stage in any industry can apply, with no sector restrictions.

Not Yet Ventures backs earliest-stage founders across all industries, prioritizing how founders make decisions over time rather than traction, pedigree, or polish. Standard terms are $30,000 for 1.5%, though they will consider other terms if you have already raised with another institutional investor.

YOUR REAL ODDS

The pitch form is currently paused, so no funding decisions are being made right now.

When the form reopens, funding requests run on a weekly decision cycle with a hard bar. A pass in a given week is not a permanent no — the relationship can continue until conditions are right.

WORTH KNOWING

Not Yet Ventures explicitly rewards founders who engage before raising — staying in their orbit and demonstrating how you make decisions over time is a stated part of how they build conviction to write a check.
