What is The Lynx List?

The Lynx List is a curated, investor-facing newsletter from Lynx Collective—our paid edition of the Early Stage NYC newsletter. Each issue features a short video interview and memo-style writeup of a NYC-based pre-seed or seed startup actively fundraising.

I meet a lot of great founders who deserve more visibility. At the same time, there’s growing demand from VCs, angels, and family offices who want access to the NYC deal flow we see from our community building efforts—but we can’t fit everyone into every event.

This newsletter bridges that gap: high-signal, early-stage startups delivered 1-2 times weekly to a network of subscribed investors. There’s no cost to apply or be featured. We don’t take equity or success fees—just a sharp pitch and a founder ready to raise.

We’re looking for:

Startups based in or strongly connected to NYC
Currently raising (or about to raise) a pre-seed or seed round
MVP or early traction (revenue, users, pilots, etc.)
Founders open to doing a short recorded pitch interview

How to apply to pitch

Start by completing the application form below. Please be thoughtful in your responses—this helps us evaluate whether there’s a strong fit for Lynx List.

If selected, we’ll reach out to schedule an initial video chat. From there, we’ll coordinate a recorded pitch session with Andrew Chang (Lynx Collective), which will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Lynx List.

Due to the selective nature of the Lynx List, we’re only able to feature a small number of startups each month. We’ll do our best to keep you informed on the status of your submission.

Please note:

Submitting this form does not guarantee selection.

We’ll reach out to schedule a call if we’d like to move forward.
Your fundraising details will only be shared with our Lynx List subscriber list.
