    7/ There's drawbacks to yanking pro rata: it can cause founders to suffer reputational damage, and potentially cause issues with future fundraising.

    4/ With the advent of angels and pre-seed, though, more and more investors are being granted pro rata, setting up complicated cap tables and leading to potential future showdowns between founders and their earliest supporters.

    3/ Think of it like ordering pizza for a party when you don't know how many people might ultimately be coming. Pro rata is a way for you to retain your share of cheese and pepperoni, even if more friends show up later.

    3) We look for companies with **unique product insights + a novel distribution approach** Others say pre-seed is a bet, but we don’t believe that this is game of roulette. Bc companies we invest in may not yet have traction in data, but they always have a lot traction in thought.

    2) We look for founders that are **maniacally focused** People who know more about this market than ones who have been in the industry for decades. Founders that have the high clock speed necessary to move things to the next level, and will continue to learn and iterate
