The NYC VC Map🗽: 80+ Early-Stage VC Investors in New York City 💰

Exclusive Database: 80+ Early Stage VCs in New York City - For Premium Subscribers Only

New York City has become a venture capital powerhouse.

In November 2025 alone, NYC captured 22.6% of all US early-stage funding, commanding $197.6M across 28 early-stage deals - reinforcing the city’s role as the nation’s second-largest startup hub after Silicon Valley.

Yet founders pitching in NYC continue to chase the same 10 mega-names: Union Square Ventures, FirstMark, RRE Ventures.

Here’s the disconnect:

While most founders know these flagship firms, they’re overlooking the 80+ active early-stage VCs operating across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the outer boroughs that write checks faster, move with less committee friction, and often offer better terms for pre-seed and seed rounds.

The data is stark.

NYC’s seed ecosystem saw 535 seed deals in 2024, with median round sizes at $3M.

In Q2 2024, NYC seed funding rose 10% year-over-year despite a 6% decline in deal volume, signaling investors are backing fewer but larger seed rounds, and being more selective about founder quality.

What’s driving selection?

AI dominance.

35% of NYC startup funding in 2025 goes to AI and machine learning companies. Investors are concentrating capital on proven founders (top university alumni with domain experience) in hot verticals.

This means the playbook changed.

The barrier?

Discovery.

Most founders know 3–5 NYC seed VCs. The other 75 remain invisible
