So while the infrastructure cost and startup costs may have declined, the operating costs have increased. As more of the micro-VCs and traditional VCs move further upstream, I wouldn’t be surprised if some partners from these funds depart to venture out on their own to help fill the gap that they can see at the Pre-Seed stage.
