Investor insight
Seed-stage acceleration is the sweet spot for scouts and solo GPs. Deploy-frequency spikes and infrastructure buildouts at this stage usually precede the Series A announcement by 6-12 weeks. The window to get in before the round is competitive is narrow but real. Infrastructure buildout is classic Series A behavior: the core product works, and the team is building the platform around it. This pattern requires capital and reflects confidence in the product direction.
