Ideally all investors want their returns. In this case, it’s a drop in the bucket for their portfolio and they are incentivized for investing in seed rounds (with the hopes of it being an Uber or a Salesforce). It’s quite common. Trend investing is happening too, FOMO, all of that, but their goal is to take $400k seed and turn it into a $40m exit. If you diversify enough it will happen, not if.
