Founded by Facebook's first female engineer (Ruchi Sanghvi) and Dropbox's former CTO (Aditya Agarwal), SPC codified the '-1 to 0' philosophy as a formal pre-idea exploration phase. They invest $400k for 7% plus $600k guaranteed in the next round to people before they have concrete startup concepts, which is more extreme than typical pre-seed funds.
