The size of seed rounds are growing as seen in Mattermark’s recent investment report, which has brought on the rise of pre-seed funds looking to be the first money into a startup before they raise a $2M+ seed round.  Many people have written about this recently, including Manu Kumar from K9 Ventures in his post ‘The New Venture Landscape‘ and Ezra Galston from Foundation Capital in his post ‘A Pre-Seed Primer.‘

Below is a list of pre-seed funds that appear to invest in SaaS companies (among other areas). It’s a work in progress, so please add a comment or ping us if we missed any or have something wrong!
