Ive always found the logic of caution when taking a seed round from a high-profile VC to be a bit backward. I understand the logic of a negative connotation if they don't do a follow-on round, but that is both years away, and a problem that you can't control now.

You may not even make it to the next round of funding, or may not need it, so why shoot yourself in the foot now. Shoot yourself later!
