You are 100% spot on. I&#x27;ve been part of 3 seed rounds, and one of those had a bunch of savvy investors jerking the founders around waiting to see how desperate they would become before investing (better terms I guess). I didn&#x27;t want any part of it, called a meeting with all the wanna-be investors and the two founders and committed on the spot. Then those that would have eventually invested all followed afraid to miss out on the deal as it was set at that moment (which was a pretty sweet one for the founders).<p>So if you are in a situation like this force their hand, the ones that are in will still be in and the ones that were just dicking you around will bow out right away.<p>The company is still around, they&#x27;re doing fine. They will never be a &#x27;homerun&#x27; but I don&#x27;t care, they&#x27;re good people and they work hard, it&#x27;s just that their pivot turned out to be less of a money maker than the project they envisioned starting out (it was either pivot or die, I give them great respect for staying alive and generating a ton of work during the last 8 years), and I&#x27;ll always have their back, no matter what.
