The claim, plainly

Vetted has raised approximately $400,000 in pre-seed funding from friends and family, angels, and Village Global.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

The claim bundles three components: that Andrew Hoagland's company (Vetd LLC, phonetically 'Vetted') raised funding from friends, family, and angel investors; that it received pre-seed investment from Village Global; and that the total raised was approximately $400,000. Public regulatory filings confirm Vetd LLC filed an SEC Form D on September 7, 2018, reporting $175,000 raised of a $200,000 offering. Public company disclosures and venture database records confirm that Village Global backed the startup in January 2019 via its Network Catalyst cohort. While the exact cumulative $400,000 total relies on then-Co-Founder and CEO Andrew Hoagland's disclosure, the constituent elements (a ~$175k-$200k angel round combined with Village Global's pre-seed investment) directly support the approximate total.
