> Except this is not true and I don't know where people are getting this idea.

It's a bit of casual hyperbole that can feel kind of bad to read if someone is not part of the crowd that can get money.

That said, there is a lot of seed funding out there these days.




Where? More specifically, where is it easily available in the quantities and for the types of pre-revenue startups discussed by the OP? In my experience, most startups have a tough time raising that first seed round, let alone doubling down on that round.


There are tons of YC clone type things popping up all over the place. Maybe you guys don't remember the dot com days, but it is significantly easier to get funded these days, and you can do so much more with less.

That said, of course "anyone can get funded" is not true and probably a bit hurtful to some who are trying and aren't managing.
