Ask HN: What seed round valuations are people seeing?

Hi hackers -- I'm curious what seed round pre-money valuations startups are getting these days. If you have a company that's raised a seed round in the last year, or know of one, please let me know how it went in the comments. Details might include: pre-money valuation, amount raised, location of team, level of traction, and sources of investment (angel, vc, mix). Please keep companies and...

I don't think it's the name so much as the attitude that matters. I've definitely seen startup founders that expected a longer term commitment from employees than they did from themselves. The founders wanted employees to believe 100% that they would be at the company for years to come, even though the founders fully expected to guide the company from inception to acquisition as quickly as possible and then split. I think the reality is that startup industry people, regardless of whether they're in a founding or hired role, are in it to create businesses and learn how to do so. Once those opportunities evaporate, they're not going to see value in sticking around to turn the gears. Startups that try to hire for long-haulers are bringing in the asylum-seekers, not the risk-takers.
