How many checks should founders expect in their pre-seed round? | Dave Anderson (GP @ Beat Ventures)

In the inaugural episode of The Data Minute podcast, Peter Walker (Head of Insights at Carta) sits down with Dave Anderson (GP at Beat Ventures) to discuss recent data around two key questions: • In today’s fundraising market, how many individual checks should the average founder plan to raise in their first SAFE round? • Do early-stage companies from California tend to raise at higher valuation caps than companies in other states — and if so, why? Along the way, Peter and Daniel take detours into a number of emerging trends and perspectives, from founders returning to “cluster cities” like San Francisco and New York, to the premium that investors pay for companies in accelerator programs like Y Combinator, and much more.
