I'm sure you'd agree that the quality of an idea has no bearing on the time that it was submitted.
So I wonder... Do you think you've missed any investments because the company timing didn't coalesce with a funding cycle?

- robryan 16y agoNot necessarily, if you are living off savings then you have a limited amount of time to either put something out that could become cash flow positive or secure funding. It would be hard to quantify missed investment opportunities because of timing though because many companies that could have been won't happen because of the missed opportunity, you could only really quantify people who have stated they took alternate investment or joined another seed fund because of timing.

- pg 16y agoThe fact that we started allowing late applications proves we believe we might. I don't know of any specific examples though.
- DanielRibeiro 16y agoBecause of it, would you even consider making more than two cycles a year (possibly enabling this by hiring more people, besides Harj)?
- pg 16y agoWe're not currently considering it. We do stuff between cycles too. E.g. that's when we put on events like Startup School.
