How do you define seed investor here? Most people need some sort of startup capital beyond the accelerator, as most companies don't get to profitability quickly enough. Also, I think this ignores B2B cases where you can't so easily build a highly stripped down product, but need to hit some quality threshold for businesses to pay. And that takes time.
- nchirls 14y agoIndeed, I'm defining seed investor largely in the context of a "seed round"...which these days seems to be anywhere btwn 500k - 1.2M. There are some 2013 startups that take a bit of friends and family money to pay for rent / food, and this largely comes down to the founder's personal / financial situation. Also yes, many of the cases I'm thinking of here are consumer focused companies.
