the $500M bar is real, we're watching fundraise timelines at our stage and most of these conversations stall hard once
nobody's raising half a billion in this macro. founders are one bad quarter from a reset conversation
the $500m band only happens if one of the legacy players finally writes a check for a category they're actually scared of.
