Ask an investor

gm. thanks for making this channel.

what is your opinion of SAFE/SAFT pre-seed "group rounds"?

i.e. when founders do not get a lead, but instead raise many checks from smaller firms. 

pros? cons? what signal does this send to larger check writers?

i'll counterpoint @pet3rpan from founder perspective:

in very early days your #1 priority is to build a product as quickly as possible that gains conviction of team, users, investors

if fastest path is a party round, go for it. there are a lot of small funds who can help you get going vs. spend weeks finding a lead

I don't disagree, do what you must as a founder - no standard path to success but always important to understand the realistic implication with regards to investors.

yeah, i think the nuance is how early the team is and how connected they are

i agree with you on importance on getting lead(s) at some point, but not always at the earliest earliest stage
