How much capital did you raise on your pre-seed? How long did it take?

Question

Curious to hear from those who have raised a pre-seed round (for a current or past startup) - how much capital did you raise for your company and how long did it take you?

pre-seed / pre-product 👉 $400k / 10weeks 👉 via antler.co

~300K and it took us not long to secure it (convertible), maybe about a month, but took a while to implement it into a notarized round later ... I guess the latter is a very German issue though^^

Pre-seed is such a broad range. I've seen friends raise anywhere from $200K to $1M, with most in the $500K-750K range. As for timeline, about 3-6 months of focused fundraising seems typical, but some get lucky with a quick close in a month while others spend closer to a year. Curious what others have seen! I think key factors are strength of team, market, and initial traction/prototype if you have any.
