Top Early-Stage Teams To Look Out for in 2022

NEW YORK, JANUARY 27, 2022

New York VC Network has compiled a list of the most exciting early-stage teams that we'll be following closely this year. Typically, these teams have recently founded companies that are now raising their Seed or Series A and have applied to our VC matching program in the past six months. Based on the space the teams are working in, we divided their companies into 5 categories: HealthTech, Fintech, B2B Solutions, Consumer Tech, and Top Scorers in ESG.

Our Rating Committee consists of current and former VCs, angel investors, exited entrepreneurs, and Fortune 500 employees in M&A roles. We've rated the companies primarily based on the team's past track record (50%) and the company's current traction/scalability (50%). The former of the two criteria focuses mostly on founder profiles, past achievements, and their ability to gather a talented team around them, whereas the latter criterion focuses on the chosen market, current traction, and ability to scale.

We didn't focus on raised capital but to give you an idea of these highlighted companies, they had already raised $3.4M on average (the median being $1.4M) and a lot more after applying. More companies, full company profiles, and contact information are available only for professional investors on this Q4/2021 deals list and currently active deals (both tabs reside on the same Google Sheet). Please note that we do this just for good startup karma: The selection process, the teams' positions on the lists, as well as all our matching services are free of charge and solicitation.
