At the pre-seed stage, there’s not much for a VC to analyze — no revenue curve, no retention metrics, no CAC. That doesn’t mean they’re guessing. It means they’re watching everything else.

The ‘GQuuuuuuX’ Endgame Is About the Messiest Relationship in All of ‘Gundam’

But really, a lot of the time–especially in the series’ foundational Universal Century setting–Gundam is a story about the two most divorced people to have ever not been married. And now Gundam GQuu
