Not now. It probably was from 2018-2021. Probably will be again at some point.

But don’t take that to mean you can just walk in and ask for money. People still want to know who they’re investing in. Prior track record is key.



In B2B it may be quite sufficient that someone has a track record in the industry + good customer contacts/buyers. Why wait for an MVP if the MVP doesn't seem like the risky part?


Yes now. Series A is harder to raise but 2M seed rounds are still happening. 1M seems pretty standard now.


2M seed without an MVP would be incredibly difficult right now. Certainly not impossible. But way, way harder than it was 12 months ago
