Part 6/12:
A significant part of the dialogue focused on the unique dynamics of seed-stage investing ("seedsters"). The panelists discussed the trend where founders seek minimal initial funding—often just enough to validate their product—believing that the vast AI market will generate profitability without further dilution. Ashwin, the moderator, highlighted that seed investment amounts are evolving, with checks often reaching ₹1-3 million ($15K-$45K) in early rounds for conventional startups, though AI startups tend to require larger initial capital due to infrastructure costs.
