Why is raising for pre-seed so hard to do? Before I answer that question, here's a quick history lesson on how pre-seed rounds came about: To keep it simple, pre-seed rounds started popping up around 5 to 10 years ago as investors started realizing there was more and more competition at the seed and series a stages. On top of that, LPs were dying to get their hands on great investment opportunities that hadn't been discovered yet. Hence, the pre-seed round was created. But as money poured in, so did risk. Now we're seeing VCs prioritize profitability sooner. We're seeing a shift from blitz scaling to sustainable growth. LPs are much more cautious now, which in turn is forcing VCs to be more cautious with the bets they choose to take... This is one of the reasons I've been pushing some of the founders I work closely with to consider raising an angel round, but that's a convo for another time. The clip below is a small part of the full episode I put out today on Funded, make sure to check the full ep out ⬇

This past year, I've made a dozen angel investments with $5k checks. The only reason I've been able to write such small checks is that I make a deal with the founder- if I get you capital -> you let me write a small check onto the cap table. By sharing deals like this, I've learned a LOT about 1) What VCs are looking for and 2) How founders navigate and respond to their capital raise This lets me diligence a deal in a unique way and decide whether or not I'm in. Plus, I crowdsource and learn from a ton of different investor perspectives! Along the way, I've gotten a lot of interest on how to get started angel investing, so next year I'm hosting a workshop about it. We're going to dig into sourcing deals, assessing them, the market dynamics for angels, and answer any burning questions. Dropping the link for it in the chat, but it is happening Tuesday, January 14th.

Key learnings: Lower valuations as per 2018, only 40% seed raises are funded, price corrections, longer to raise capital from investors, no speed dating but getting to know each other, forge long term relations with founders and funders. Focus on: building the product, build the team, make it profitable, plan series A,B, exit. Early investors could be your lifelines to do a seed funding extension, so build relations!! #investinglessons #angelinvesting #startupfunding #capitalraise #vcinvesting #responsiblecompanybuilding

This is definitely 💯 - I am witnessing exactly what has been expressed by this group of presenters at collison!!! Forget chasing investors - boot strap yourself, build a team, use our grandfather’s wisdom and create revenue instead of chasing angel investors. Once your team is set and you have revenue you no longer need to worry about innovation theatre, public relations pictures just to get KPI’s for government grants or angel investors… when the business has been set up then you can chase series A, B , C etc… funding … Do not waste time with not for profit innovation spaces and accelerators that are Gov. funded.
