FollowTheSeed is a global, data-driven venture capital firm, not a payment gateway, acquirer, or fintech API provider. Its website highlights two investment methodologies: Reverse Problem Solving (RPS) for B2B companies and RavingFans® for B2C companies. It focuses on post-seed startups that can demonstrate real market demand through data, and it also separately mentions projects in the Blockchain/Web 3.0 space.
From a payments/finance perspective, the main content does not disclose any payment methods, clearing and settlement capabilities, fees, merchant acquiring, wallet services, or cross-border payment functions. It therefore should not be understood as a payment service provider. Its “financial” nature is primarily venture capital. The logic behind RPS is to first work with large enterprises and Fortune 500 companies to identify pain points, then search globally for startups that can solve those problems and invest in them. This may help reduce market validation risk for B2B projects. RavingFans®, meanwhile, uses an SDK and behavioral psychology models to analyze user behavior and assess whether a B2C product has habit-forming and retention potential.
The website does not disclose any fee rates, management fees, investment terms, single-investment size, or settlement timelines. It also does not specify the fund’s place of registration, regulatory licenses, or compliance framework. The RavingFans SDK is the only clearly mentioned technical integration point. The website says startups can download the SDK and receive feedback on product potential within 30 days, but it does not explain what data is collected, which platforms are supported, whether API documentation is available, or what data protection standards apply.
The main advantage is that its methodology is relatively clear, emphasizing real enterprise demand and user behavior data instead of purely subjective judgment. The team spans backgrounds in investment, law, marketing, enterprise innovation, and other areas, and claims to have a multi-continent network. The drawbacks are insufficient disclosure of key business information, and the performance figures shown in the track record section appear as 0 in the main content, making it difficult to verify the fund’s strength. The privacy, compliance, and technical details of the SDK are also not explained in sufficient depth.
FollowTheSeed is better suited to B2B/B2C or Web3 startups that already have a product and data and are seeking VC funding. It is not suitable for merchants looking for payment APIs, acquiring, settlement, or financial licensing services. The main content does not provide information on access from mainland China, so network availability is unknown. If you need payments or financial infrastructure, more relevant alternatives would include Stripe, Airwallex, Adyen, PingPong, and LianLian Global.
