Partners of venture-capital firm TSVC, which focuses on seed startup investments, had only tapped entrepreneurs in their personal networks to raise past funds, such as their $25 million fourth fund, which closed in 2018. At the end of 2021, amid a record frothy market, the Los Altos, Calif.-based firm decided to raise a larger fund from institutional investors. The timing would prove tricky as the market went cold shortly after.

When analyzing an investment, seed-stage venture firm TSVC starts by calling customers up to verify the startup’s claims — even if there are only a handful and aren’t paying yet, its general partner Spencer Greene told TechCrunch. Even if the company picks who the firm should call to verify, Greene said customers are surprisingly frank about how good or bad a business is. He pointed out that these calls don’t just verify the number of users but they also give a good idea of how much a company would pay for a contract with the startup — to see if it aligns with the company’s pitch.
