What makes a VC firm 'active'

Activity is usually measured by the number of new investments made per year, the pace of follow-on rounds, and the presence of recently closed funds that need to be deployed. An active firm is one that is demonstrably writing new checks - not merely managing an old portfolio.

Before reaching out, check whether a firm actually invests at your stage and in your sector: a fund between raises, or one whose thesis moved away from your industry, will not convert no matter how good your pitch is.

How to approach VC firms in 2026

Research each fund's thesis before reaching out, reference a recent relevant investment in your first sentence, and address the partner who leads deals in your space - not a generic inbox. A warm introduction helps, but a well-researched, personalized cold email also works.
