Executive assistants, high salaries, and other ways early-stage founders will trigger a seed VC | TechCrunch

Jenny Fielding, co-founder of Everywhere Ventures and former Techstars managing director, sparked a conversation about the appropriateness of early-stage founders having executive assistants (EAs) to help them schedule. Some suggested using AI executive assistants, while others defended the need for human assistance. Fielding's point was that founders should focus on building a product rather than excessive spending. Seed investors, like Fielding, believe founders should spend their cash as they see fit, but early-stage VCs will still evaluate their cash management when it's time to raise the next round. Fielding also mentioned that certain titles and high salaries at early-stage startups can raise red flags for VCs.

Unicorn sightings become rare as VCs shun that leap of faith

Early-stage startups are struggling to attract "leap of faith capital" as investors focus on late-stage companies. While early-stage deals are happening, big investors like SoftBank and Tiger Global are more inclined towards established startups and potential IPOs. Only two startups have become unicorns this year, compared to the previous year's total of two. The investment process for new firms is still lengthy, and funding is primarily limited to fast-growing and profitable companies. However, there is optimism that ventures fixing their economics will be able to raise significant capital in the future.
