Introduction
We are back! After the strong response to our Q1 roundup of new venture funds, we’re excited to bring you the second edition of our New VC Funds list, carefully curated by the Foundersuite investor research team. This time we are featuring 50 innovative venture capital funds that opened their doors or raised a new fund after Q1 of 2025.
For founders, this list acts as a roadmap to fresh capital… these are potential VC partners who recently raised funds — and are now looking to deploy their capital. Every name here is an investor you could be talking to right now.
These funds cover everything from pre-seed to growth stage, and span sectors like climate tech, AI, deep tech, health tech and fintech. No matter your niche, there’s likely someone on this list who shares your vision and has the capital to help make it happen.
So grab your coffee, share this post with your team, and start planning those outreach emails. The newest players in the venture ecosystem are here — and they’re hunting for their next big win.

Conclusion
If you’re a founder, timing matters — and there’s no better moment to approach a fund than right after they’ve raised fresh capital. The VCs in this list are still building their pipelines, eager to back standout teams, and ready to move fast when they find the right fit.
This quarter’s crop of new investors is as diverse as the startups they’re looking to support. That means more options, more opportunities, and more potential champions for your business.
Here’s a simple 5-step process you can start today:
- Scan the list — Highlight funds that match your stage, sector, and geography. Add them to your Investor CRM inside Foundersuite.com.
- Do your homework — Visit their websites, check portfolio companies, and follow their partners on LinkedIn.
- Build your pitch materials — Tighten your deck, clarify your metrics, and prepare a clear “why now” story. Upload your deck to the Pitch Deck Hosting section of Foundersuite.
- Personalize your outreach — Reference their focus areas or recent announcements to show you’ve done your research. Use the Get Intro tool in Foundersuite to generate warm intros, and use the email templates in the Send Email section for cold outreach.
- Follow up with value — Share updates, traction, or insights that keep the conversation warm over time. Use Foundersuite’s Investor Update tool to send a regular progress update.
Use this list as a starting point. Don’t just bookmark it — act on it.
We’ll be back next quarter with the next wave of fresh funds. Until then, get out there and start making connections. Your next investor could be one well-crafted email away.
Good luck out there :)
