Seed raise • Read the headline with its period • FY2025 • First nine months of 2026
The Seed raise badge stays fixed in its lane. A blank pitch slide with one empty, dashed figure slot arrives, and a tag reading FY2025 is tied to the slot by a cord. A second blank slide follows, and a First nine months of 2026 tag is tied to its slot the same way. No amount or percentage appears: both slots stay empty and their dashes keep crawling.

Seed raise • Ask for the median • How many deals sit behind it? • Few very large rounds • Typical round • Mean • Median
The article's mean-and-median figure appears: a row of small round tokens on the Median level with the Typical round ringed among them, and two very large tokens labelled Few very large rounds on the same floor; the Mean level runs high above most tokens and across the large ones. The question How many deals sit behind it? appears. A highlight starts on the Mean level at the large tokens' end, slides along it, drops to the Median level and stops on the Typical round token, whose ring brightens; the large tokens stay still. The drawing is illustrative and not to scale.

Seed raise • Read your own stage • Recent seed rounds • More meetings, longer close
Under the Recent seed rounds header, a blank investor-list sheet slides in with five empty rows. Five identical round tokens move into the rows one after another, and each row keeps only a blank bar: no names appear. A More meetings, longer close card slides in and is strapped to the sheet.

Seed raise • Count only cash you have • Cost cuts listed in order • Available cash • Monthly net burn • Restricted cash • Unclosed round
The article's what-counts-as-runway figure appears: a glass tank of Available cash with drops falling slowly from its nozzle into a funnel labelled Monthly net burn, and two dashed outlines standing apart, a locked strongbox labelled Restricted cash and an open envelope labelled Unclosed round. Nothing connects the outlines to the tank. A Cost cuts listed in order card slides in below.

Seed raise • Fund one milestone • Milestone named • Monthly review • Raise pending
Beside the empty, dashed Raise pending slot, a track lays out to the far end, where a post with a blank plaque rises beside Milestone named. A Monthly review loop is traced round the track and a review marker runs one lap. The slot stays empty and its dashes keep crawling: the raise is still pending.
An illustrative seed raise reads the regional headline with its period, asks for the median, looks at its own stage, counts only available cash and funds one milestone. The raise outcome stays pending.
