Research Report


THE PRE-SEED ROUND IN 2022-23: FROM FOMO TO JOMO: VCS SHIFT FROM RAPID GROWTH TO
LONG-TERM RISK AVERSION

For the fourth year in a row, DocSend is reporting on trends in pre-seed
fundraising. Our 2022-2023 report shows that risk aversion is driving VC funding
decisions, meaning that founders need to sharpen their storytelling and
demonstrate traction to instill confidence in VCs to stand out. Further,
fundraising successes vary due to geographic and demographic factors.

investors and founders.
