Semi-Curious about the "seed-stage" investments being 1-3m as that seems rather large even by post demo day YC standards. Unless the expectation is that there has been a friends/family/angel round prior to this with existing growth/traction from said investments? I think some additional clarification on what traction/stage First Round is looking for would save some time on their end and also for companies applying that might not fit into that mold not to waste their time.

Here's a useful PDF:

Series A rounds are typically slightly north of 5 million. It's hard to make out, but seed rounds seem to average some fraction of a million.
So the characterization of 1-3 million rounds as "seed" does seem odd.
