When skeptics call vertical-specific seed investing a silly idea, they miss the big picture. Sand Hill Road is saturated with large multi-stage firms writing big checks at the seed stage. Every hot startup has one question for VCs today: “What do you bring to the table?” And hey, different venture firms have different strengths. Some are happy to connect you with industry experts; others pull out their checkbook… Primary is trying to be an anomaly here. We believe content and PR can be a real deal magnet if leveraged right. In this conversation with Sam Toole, Partner at Primary, he reveals how VCs can stand out to exceptional founders as mega funds rush in.

The investment climate continues to change. But your opportunity to shine as a founder is now. Since 2021, a dramatic shift in VC funding patterns has been seen on Carta. While Series B and C startups have faced a challenging 50%+ drop in new investments and a dip in valuations, the seed stage is writing a different story. Are seed founders telling their stories better? I don't know. But seed-stage startups are defying trends with only a 10.6% decrease in new investments. And guess what? Their valuations have skyrocketed by an astonishing 44%! This resilience amidst a broader VC slowdown is a testament to the power of early-stage innovation and strategic positioning. And positioning doesn't happen without storytelling. #ThoughtLeadership #Publicity
