You're mistaken. Most of these companies are raising >500K, this is not seed money. Seed is typically less than 100K. There are at least 10 companies that come from YC, which means they already got their seed round. You can't do seed twice by definition.

There is no definition of 'seed', so I'm not sure where you're getting these ideas. Seed is just pre-Series A.

I am a YC W13 founder and I just raised a 'seed' round. Our investors signed the paperwork as a 'seed' round. We raised >$500k.

That would be highly unusual. But it doesn't matter that much to me if it's true. We were simply talking about different thing when saying "seed". No harm done.
