Revisited: big VCs investing in seed rounds
- pedalpete 15y agoEven knowing this, would you be able to turn down an investment from a top VC firm while you were raising a seed round? We're wired to expect things to always get better, we're wired to believe that we are the ones who will succeed and that the VC not doing a follow-on round would happen to other companies, but not us. I also suspect getting a big name VC in on your seed round goes a long way to getting more investors in that seed round. Can somebody give an example of when they turned down an investment from a larger firm, and if they now look back on it as a positive?
