Short answer - no. Some will participate in seed rounds if they intend to follow up in a series A. This is rare though, and $100k even at the seed stage is tiny for a VC.
Lots of large VCs will invest as little as $100K to both get in for the next round as well as provide the team with resources they may need that are non-monetary, some will even take on advisory roles.
Investing isn't about the amount at the seed stage. An investor at the seed stage gets a whole lot more equity for their buck earlier on, so they should provide value over that of what the money will get you.

"superangel" funds will do $100k-ish.
