Pre seed and seed companies are very small and very young, right?
This seems to be plausible: when you don’t yet know what you’re doing, your machine isn’t even built let alone well-oiled, you need very low latency, high quality communication.
I’m doubtful that this translates into the future much, beyond, perhaps, that companies that start well are more likely to do well.

This kind of observation simply can't distinguish between correlation and causation.
