A clearer map of early-stage venture capital.

PitchCombinator exists to make the earliest, hardest part of building a company — finding and understanding the investors who write your first check — a little less opaque. We pair a searchable directory of active early-stage funds with plain-English guides on the mechanics founders actually negotiate: valuation, dilution, and the pitch.

The directory currently covers 195 funds across Europe and the United States, each with its typical check size, stage, sectors, and notable portfolio. It is a living resource — new funds and guides are added over time.
