@franklin_durugo On #1, the list that converts is rarely the big logos you tagged. It's funds whose last 5-10 cheques match your stage and sector. Pulling who actually wrote pre-seed in your space recently beats spraying. Thesis-fit does more than volume ever will.

Founder's pain: what's your score on these?
1. Why is it so difficult finding investors likely to commits?
2. Why does reaching out to investors at ideation or pre-seed, feel like an employer demanding for job experience on your first job interview?
I mean, if I have the experience, skill, or/and funds, I won't have myself being interviewed (worst case; interrogated).
3. Why does investors generalize what a fundable founder should be like, neglecting founder personality and other determinant factors that can impact expectations?
4. The most difficult and life-draining stages of being a scrapping founder are, landing your first investment, and distribution.

@tariquesha1 The 'obvious founder' filter is mostly a network artifact, it encodes who the GP already knows, not what the company is. New cheque-writers is one fix. The other: judging a company on its merits, not the warmth of the intro that surfaced it.
English
The UK has spent years trying to fix who gets funded. The British Business Bank now went after the harder question:
who gets to do the funding
The British Business Bank put £90 million into 10 brand new micro funds. Every one is run by a first time fund manager. 57% are women,43% come from ethnic minority backgrounds while seven are solo GPs writing their first institutional cheques.
Early stage capital moves through networks and those networks have stayed narrow for a long time. When the same small group decides which founders look "obvious," the same kinds of companies keep getting built. Swap the people writing first cheques and you change what gets seen, upstream of any founder.
The timing is also really important. AI and deeptech took roughly 63% of UK VC last year. These funds write pre seed cheques into exactly that the cheque most founders can't get without a track record or a warm intro.
151 managers applied,10 made it.
Among them: Mustard Seed, the first Black led consumer fund in the UK and Europe. Twin Track, turning defence traction into commercial scale.
New people deciding where first money goes will back companies the old networks were never going to find.

@aadhicash In-person beats any database for finding founders before they're trackable. The tools earn their keep on the other side, after you meet someone: turning a URL into a real read on the company in minutes instead of a week of open tabs.
