## Method and limits
- Source: No row on this list rests on an SEC filing. All 260 have a website we checked. Filing date and fund size are SEC data where a filing exists. Stage, sector and check size are our research.
- Inclusion rule: Organizations that back startups. Individuals, buyout funds and firms we found to be inactive are left out. Stage: the firm states that it invests at pre-seed.
- Order: Activity score out of 100: recency of the latest fund filing or dated deal (45: full marks within 3 months, then stepping down at 6, 12 and 24 months), stage focus (15: all of it when pre-seed is the only stage the firm states, split evenly when it states more), size of the fund on file on a log scale (25) and completeness of the public record (15). Stage focus is our research, not an SEC figure. It is a measure of activity and fit, not of quality or returns.
- Fill rates: Of 260 rows: stage 260, sector 260, fund size 66, website 260. In the paid file: named decision-makers on 197 rows, firm email on 163, LinkedIn page on 192, check size on 116.
