Founders love to pitch act 1 and act 2 and act 3 during a Series A. It feels bigger and more interesting. But most companies never get past act 1. Investors know that and tend to discount elaborate stories. Make sure that act 1 is interesting enough for the next 10 years of.

Summer appears to be a pretty good time to raise an A - or at least announce a raise.

Listening to a founder fumble a coffee meeting in the last minutes with “I’ll be in touch when we raise. I dunno when. Maybe soon, probably, I dunno”.

End state of a perfectly run process (stats from the company). Lots of loose ends, mostly from investors not pushing the ball forward (or forward on a reasonable timeline), even after IC.

Sending a $250k uncapped SAFE to founders you’ve never met isn’t investing. Investing would mean weighing risk against reward and pesky things like portfolio math. In this case, you're basically just gambling.

Noticing a (new) and very dark pattern at seed. Seed investors pushing well capitalized founders to raise ever more safe money they don’t need “in case the A is hard.”. The dilution only hits the founders and employees, not the post money safe investors. Deeply adverse.
