Active Pre-seed Software Investors (2026)

20 investors currently writing pre-seed checks in Software. Synthesized from live platform activity · updated August 2026.

The SaaS model continues to be a favorite among investors due to its recurring revenue and predictable scaling. Investors evaluating SaaS opportunities at the Pre-Seed level heavily scrutinize ARR growth, net revenue retention (NRR), and customer acquisition cost (CAC) payback periods. Pre-seed investors primarily back the founders' vision, early prototypes, and initial market validation before substantial revenue exists.
