JPMorgan’s latest Startup Insights report shows that 2026 seed founders bring more tech experience than the 2021 cohort. Likely a function of less cheap money, AI requiring more technical depth and the general AI infra build out all contributing here.

As a buyer, why wait for a startup to reach Series A when it already has the team and technology you need? A combination of the slowing Series A market, AI making it easier to build & scale and buyers doing smaller vs. larger deals - all driving this trend.

If you are out raising early stage capital in this market assuming a large $ raise - you need to either push hard and create massive urgency, adjust your raise size quickly based on feedback or push the raise out a few months until liquidity (and morale) improves. Move fast!
