There isn't the same pressure on founders to raise a seed round as they are likely to exit YC with significant capital and runway. Seed investors still have capital allocation targets and are likely to improve their offers to encourage founders to accept investment.
- tmcneal 5y agoThis also incentivizes founders to raise at a higher cap to minimize the dilution from the $375k. I imagine it'll be harder for investors to negotiate a lower cap or get a discount.
- Grustaf 5y agoI wouldn't call 400-500k a significant runway, but it should have some effect, since you can put of fund raising for at least a few months, maybe even 2 years if you're frugal. At that time you are hopefully further along.
