Building out your own network of other Angel or Seed investors increases the quality of your deal flow. Chances are if things are going good (or even not so good) those early stage startups you were so passionate about 12 or 18 months ago will be coming to the market again asking for more money.

Earlier today, the folks from Afore Capital hosted their inaugural “Pre-Seed Summit” in San Francisco. About 150 people showed up, a healthy mix of founders, seed-stage investors and big fund VCs, and a bunch of LPs of various sizes. Some press showed up, too.

I want to try to connect relevant entrepreneurs with new investors and help new investors get more qualified deal flow and exposure. All of these investors have done at least one seed investment in the last 6 months but most have done many investments. And, she’ll be looking at relevant deals for that fund as well.

Newer VCs, who don’t yet have a lot of deal flow, then eventually fill this void and the cycle repeats itself. But, because these investors don’t yet have a brand, entrepreneurs often don’t know they exist, and funding at this “pre-seed” level is very difficult to come-by.

In some cases, a fund may have one partner with disproportionate deal flow because of their high visibility or “celebrity status” But that’s not the case in our fund. Some final parting thoughts: I would argue that a change in the internal “lead” of a deal is usually bad news in most cases.

This one comes from personal experience, months into conversations and after reference checks (which went well) one particular VC decided he didn’t have commitment to the space. The bottom line is that being a seed stage founder is mostly a very thankless job. A good CEO is likely a sales person by nature.
