Pre-seed is the most exciting but nerve-wrecking time for a startup. You're typically working to build and validate an MVP with a small team (or solo), out-of-pocket funds, you're reworking ideas and prototypes and laying the groundwork for future growth and fundraising. 

​

The resources available to pre-seed startups in laying this groundwork are usually lean, and so showcasing your long-term vision to potential investors with an MVP or an idea can be challenging, to say the least. But not impossible.

​

As a pre-seed startup you need to be able to prove your determination and value as a founder, you need some form of validation around the problem your product is solving, a really good pitch and pitch deck, to be able to articulate the vision of your product both verbally and visually (MVP, design, prototype, slides, so on) and you need to start building a community and network around you and your idea.
