Questions founders ask

How many seed investors can lead a round?

988 of the 1,475 seed firms that report a preference say they can lead. Use the "Leads rounds" filter to see them.

What does "active" mean?

It means Mode VC saw recent activity at the firm since September 2026. It shows the firm is out there. It does not prove a new investment.

A firm or partner page is wrong. How do I fix it?

Use the contact page and name the page. Corrections from the firm or the person themselves are reviewed first.

How do I pick a check size?

Lead investors usually write 30 to 50 percent of a round. Set your round size in the sentence at the top and the map filters to firms writing that check.
