Insight
Seed valuation serves as a conviction litmus test, not a price filter
“So internally, when I think about valuation, I almost use it as a litmus test for my own enthusiasm, my own belief in whether or not a company can achieve its high aims. But I don't focus on it sort of that much at the seed stage.”

Opinion
Overpriced seed rounds deter price-disciplined Series A investors
“There's a certain price which I think is too high because what I worry about is not that it doesn't work out numbers-wise, but I worry that it detracts or deters A-round people from actually investing. Because they are more price disciplined.”
