What is Micro-VC?

Definition

A micro-VC is a venture capital fund that manages a relatively small amount of capital, typically under $100 million. Micro-VCs usually invest at the pre-seed or seed stage, writing smaller checks ($50K-$500K) and often operating with small teams of 1-3 partners.

Why micro-vc matters for investors

Micro-VCs are one of the fastest-growing segments of venture capital. They fill a critical funding gap between angel investors and larger VC firms. With smaller teams, they need efficient deal sourcing tools more than larger funds.
