Seed rounds are largely unaffected atm. You should pitch the team and vision, with a heavy focus on your path to $1M ARR.

yeah, and make sure you know a lot of people and go to parties all the time, because a good team and vision is not going to be enough.

I understand why you are saying this, because I’m not from SV and have experienced this resentment

But if there was ever a time that parties and vanity metrics didn’t matter - this is it.

Cold emails probably work too, but meeting people irl is still a great way to build your network.
