Raising a seed round is momentum. Raising a follow-on round is validation.

In Episode 2 of Lumikai Pixels Blueprint × Outlook Publishing (India) Pvt. Ltd., Niyaz Laiq, Partner at Lumikai, breaks down what it really takes to move from seed to Series A - and why many founders underestimate this transition.

From the much-discussed “Series A crunch” to defining the right 18–24 month milestones, this episode focuses on how founders should think about execution, metrics, and narrative as they plan their next round.


In this episode, we cover:


  • How Seed and Series A fundamentally differ

  • The biggest mistakes founders make when planning follow-on rounds

  • What follow-on investors actually look for

  • How to prepare for your next raise well before runway gets tight

I love the fact that you can create levels and join others' levels. The Geometry Dash community is what really keeps this game alive after all these years.
