TBC: What Do Pre-Seed & Seed Rounds Look Like in This Market?

In this episode of The Backchannel, we dive into a topic that’s been on a lot of founders’ minds: the difference between pre-seed and seed rounds in today’s shifting market.

We explain how the definitions and expectations for these funding stages have evolved, especially after the wild fluctuations caused by events like ZIRP and the SVB collapse.

We break down what VCs are now looking for in pre-seed deals and seed deals in the current market.

We also address common questions, like whether you can use the same pitch deck for both rounds and the role of institutional investors in pre-seed funding.
