Just the fact VCs were in at the beginning is a differentiating factor now?
I haven't been to a YC event, but I am assuming they get as many if not many more investors to come check out the companies.
Seems like some really weak differentiation.
- pmjordan 16y agoThere's also the potentially negative signal of the VCs not investing in a later round. They probably don't have first refusal rights (that would be a red flag) but if follow-up investments are the norm they probably may as well. That said, startups outside North America can't exactly be choosy with capital (I've seen founders chase 5-figure investments for months, at which stage you may as well fund yourself with consulting), and Seedcamp seems to be one of the best early-stage funds out there.
