Pre-Seed Funded Software Development Startups
Among the 50 pre-seed software-development rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Fairly’s $10M (2024-12-10).
Among the 50 pre-seed software-development rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Fairly’s $10M (2024-12-10). That single $10M close stands well above the next-largest disclosed figures in the list ($5M from Glyphic AI on 2023-06-14; otherwise several $3M rounds like Workflow $3M on 2024-11-14, Cold $3M on 2024-10-31, and Niva $3M on 2024-07-08), creating a clear size outlier on the high end.
Date-wise, the most recent entry is Spike AI (2025-08-13, $2M), while the oldest shown is Glowstick (2023-03-02, $1M). Funding amounts concentrate heavily around the $500K level across multiple months and cities (for example, 2024-12-04: Scrapybara $500K and Upshift $500K; 2024-04-03: Assembly $500K and Topo.io $500K; 2023-04-05: Berry/Cakework/Fabius/Trigger.dev/Workpage all at $500K). On geography, San Francisco appears repeatedly (Spike AI 2025-08-13; Scrapybara 2024-12-04; Assembly 2024-04-03; Fileverse 2023-10-17; and multiple 2023-04-05 closes including Berry, Cakework, Fabius), while several non-US hubs also recur (London and Berlin appear multiple times). The stage field is consistently “Pre-Seed,” but the disclosed-value column is sparse: 8 entries are “undisclosed,” and one entry is recorded as $0K (Maavi Services on 2023-10-03).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed pre-seed round in this list, and how far above the rest does it sit?
Fairly’s $10M pre-seed (2024-12-10) is the top disclosed amount across the 50 rows and is substantially larger than the next-largest disclosed figures visible, including Glyphic AI’s $5M (2023-06-14). Several other disclosed rounds cluster at $3M or below, such as Workflow $3M (2024-11-14) and Cold $3M (2024-10-31).
Do the rounds cluster around specific dates or amount bands rather than spreading evenly?
Yes. The $500K band repeats across multiple months and cities: Scrapybara ($500K, 2024-12-04) and Upshift ($500K, 2024-12-04); Assembly ($500K, 2024-04-03) and Topo.io ($500K, 2024-04-03); and five London/New York/SF-area entries on 2023-04-05 including Berry ($500K), Cakework ($500K), Fabius ($500K), Trigger.dev ($500K), and Workpage ($500K).
Which entries form the most recent temporal edge of this dataset?
The most recent round date shown is 2025-08-13 for Spike AI ($2M). The dataset then steps back through several pre-seed closes in late 2024 (e.g., Fairly on 2024-12-10 at $10M), with the oldest shown being 2023-03-02 (Glowstick, $1M).
Are there repeated geography hubs, particularly among US cities?
San Francisco recurs across the list—Spike AI (2025-08-13, $2M), Scrapybara (2024-12-04, $500K), Assembly (2024-04-03, $500K), and multiple 2023-04-05 entries (Berry $500K, Cakework $500K, Fabius $500K). London and Berlin also appear multiple times, such as Workflow (London, $3M on 2024-11-14) and VENMATE (Berlin, $650K on 2024-05-15).
How much of the dataset is hard to benchmark due to missing or nonstandard disclosed amounts?
Disclosed amounts are not universal: 8 entries are marked “undisclosed,” including Blanc (2024-04-04) and Colega AI (2024-04-01). There is also a nonstandard $0K record for Maavi Services (2023-10-03), which behaves differently from the prevailing $300K–$3M and $500K-heavy bands when comparing disclosed sizes.
