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. Deploy frequency spikes indicate a product launch, rapid iteration on customer feedback, or a competitive response. All are potential indicators of product-market fit and interesting timing for investors.
