Etc… At the pre-seed stage, a big way to stand out is if you have a V3 statement (as opposed to a V1 statement). At the pre-seed stage, there is no way to prove that your thesis is right or wrong. The way you get to a V3 statement is to start running the business and charging customers. And that’s ok.
