What VCs Actually Count as “Traction” at Pre-Seed Early-stage founders often ask: “We don’t have revenue yet - can we still raise?” Yes. But only if you show traction that feels real. Here's what investors actually look for at pre-seed: - A waitlist that’s growing organically - 2–3 strong pilot customers (even unpaid is fine) - 50–100 users with repeat usage or strong feedback - Demo calls turning into ongoing convos Not every metric needs a ₹ attached. You’re showing you're worth betting on. Would you like a checklist I use to prep founders before a raise? DM me.
