Seed round valuations jump while round volume declines - both significantly. Investor competition for early access to avoid the massive mark-ups at the A is certainly a driving factor. My hunch is there's more going on - like startups raising a Seed having increasingly mature products, allowing for higher valuations, but also explaining why fewer are opting to raise. Thoughts?

Your valuation is revenue times X number. Most of my friends have heard this over and over for the last two years. I think the old myth of getting $10M for an idea on a napkin is over and real revenue and metrics matter more. So maybe this is just the next evolution of the cycle until everyone is flushed with cash again and willing to throw money at anything with the hot new meta in the pitch.

I think the term “seed” now often means A. Definitely what an A was in 2010, both in terms of money and maturity of the product. Pre seed is the new seed. I’ve heard people talk about multi million pre seeds.

The goal posts keep moving so less money is justified and the cycle continues

seed rounds are just series a's with better terms now. founders building longer in stealth means more leverage when they finally pitch. traditional venture sequencing becoming obsolete.
