A startup whose most recent detected funding round is Pre-seed. We read funding stage from sources like YC, a16z, Paradigm, Variant, and Crunchbase.

Why target Pre-seed startups?

Recently-funded teams hire fast and in volume right after a raise. Joining at Pre-seed often means more ownership and earlier equity than later-stage roles.
