@davemcclure at Seed Startup Panel (Twitter Feed Recap)

News angel investmentdo you want fries with thatseed investment

I came across this feed of posts by Dave at a Seed Funding panel at the Founders Fund. It is a good summary of several incubators and seed level funds, including the amount invested and what that investment carries with it. It is a bit difficult to find the concise thread on Twitter, so just reposting it here to make it easier to parse.
