15 Startup Ideas VCs Are Betting On (Pre-Revenue!) in 2025–2026 The bar for traction is rising—but some ideas are still fundable on vision alone. Here’s what top VCs are chasing before revenue: 1. AI Agents for Enterprises 2. Synthetic Biology Platforms 3. Decentralized AI Model Marketplaces 4. B2B AI Compliance Tools (for AI Act) 5. Longevity-as-a-Service 6. Zero-Trust Infrastructure Startups 7. Vertical GenAI SaaS (legal, logistics, etc.) 8. Mental Health AI Companions 9. Autonomous Robotics-as-a-Service 10. AI-Powered Education Copilots 11. Green Hydrogen Microplants 12. Quantum-Resistant Cybersecurity 13. Spatial Computing Collaboration Tools 14. Digital Twin Platforms for Smart Cities 15. Consumer AI Stylists / Life Planners Execution still matters. But if you’re working on one of these, the door’s open—even pre-revenue. #startups #vc #futureoftech #founders
