# Pre-Seed Startups Showing Deceleration, Q3 2026

Startups whose 14-day commit velocity fell versus the prior window, a measurable slowdown that can mean a shipped milestone, a team transition, or a strategic pivot.

## Summary, Q3 2026

- 60 pre-seed-stage startups showing deceleration
- Top: fluttercandies (AgTech), 160 commits/14d (-1%)
- Sectors represented: 15

## Investor Insight

At pre-seed, the GitHub commit graph is often the only public signal of product velocity. Founders are heads-down shipping. A pre-seed startup showing sustained engineering acceleration over a multi-week window is a high-conviction outbound target before the seed round is live. Deceleration is not automatically a red flag. A team that just shipped a major release often slows down to regroup. Read it alongside contributor growth and new repositories: falling velocity with stable or rising contributors usually means a finished push, while falling velocity and falling contributors together can flag turnover or a stalled roadmap.
