"i will not promote" Seed funding for startups: what made you choose one VC firm over another when raising your first round?

We're starting to think seriously about raising a seed round after about a year of bootstrapping. A few VC firms have shown interest but honestly they all sound pretty similar on intro calls. Beyond valuation and check size, what actually mattered when you picked your lead investor? Looking back, was there anything you wish you had paid more attention to before signing a term sheet? Curious to hear perspectives from founders who have already been through the seed funding process. submitted by /u/Low-Oil7883
