A founder of a pre-product company I was chatting with is worried that if they accept an investment for a lower valuation right now, that it sets a bad precedent for future fundraising. My intuition suggests that this is only true if you are selling snakeoil, but I've not personally raised before. Thoughts?

My understanding is the founder has a SAFE offer from a Lead and has a demo of the product. Certainly raising at a higher valuation is usually better in order to retain more equity, but at this stage of the company and macro economic environment, it seems like looking a gift horse in the mouth.
