What seed rounds price at

US market medians, so you can see where a term sheet sits against the market rather than only against the firm offering it.

  • Median pre-money valuationNot publishedThe report plots seed on this chart but does not label a value for either year; we do not estimate it.
  • Median round size$3M · $3.5M in 2025

PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, Q2 2026 (As of June 30, 2026), page 10. Figures are United States medians across all sectors; this report does not break valuations out by sector, so these are not sector-specific.

Twenty of these are worth your time. The rest are not.

A sector list tells you who invests here. It does not tell you which of them writes cheques your size, at your stage, right now. Run the free valuation and we rank this list against your own numbers, then show you how many fit before you pay anything.
