Something is happening in pre-seed / seed that I think needs to be amplified more.

The gap between pre-seed and seed is getting large.

Helpful insight from @cartainc's @PeterJ_Walker on summer fundraising. Conventional wisdom is that summer is toughest so this is eye-opening. Just remember this reflects when deals close. Term sheets are typically issued 4-6 weeks prior to closing!

Founders - you can raise VC rounds in the summer.

Across most years, the worst month for signed venture deals is actually January. July isn't so great either - but June and August are usually pretty decent!

Deals are not always begun and signed in the same month, obviously

Do you think about the age of a founder when investing? If yes, why?

Two ways for an AI company to protect itself from competition: (a) depend not just on AI but also deep domain knowledge about a particular field, (b) have a very close relationship with the end users.
