Founders have told us so often that there's no transparency in the industry, we're going to change this. Join us for an AMA with @ChrisSmithPF and @JeevanKSunner and ask us any question you've ever had about early stage fundraising Register here: playfaircapital.typeform.com…

Though bad investors sometimes cut back dramatically in bad markets, good investors keep investing. They know how terribly dangerous it would be to stop. What if they miss the Google? So don't be deterred from starting a startup because you worry it will be hard to get funding.

Great qu. What I've seen: Pre-seed/seed valuations still based entirely off dilution*round-size. For the vast majority: round sizes are coming down (c.30%) and dilution expectations have moved from lower bound of 15% to 20% with 25% happening again. For the few, little change.
