What do Pre-Seed VCs actually Look for in India Every founder wants to raise an initial round. But very few know it’s not just about the pitch. It’s about these 4 things: a. Founder-Market Fit 🙋‍♂️ Do you have the insight, obsession, and context to solve this problem? b. Initial Traction 🎉 This doesn’t mean big revenue. Even 100 users or 10 pilots can help - if it shows potential. c. Clarity of Thought 💭 Your GTM, roadmap, and fund usage plan should make sense. Fuzzy logic = investor drop-off. d. Clean Cap Table ⭐ No strange equity splits. No early dead weight. ESOPs structured right. Stress-test these 4 areas. It makes the pitch much stronger.
