None of the top 10 startups similar to ALFA are currently in the Pre-Seed or Seed stages of funding based on the data available. They are either beyond these stages or their funding stages are not specifically categorized as Pre-Seed or Seed. Consequently, there is no average round amount to report for these stages among these startups. If you're interested in exploring other stages or need information on different startups, please let me know how I can assist you further.

Which is the most similar startup in pre-seed or seed stage?

There are no startups in the Pre-Seed or Seed stages in the dataset that match the criteria. This could be due to various reasons, such as the dataset primarily containing information on later-stage ventures or the specific focus areas of the startups not aligning closely with ALFA's profile. If you have any other criteria or stages you'd like to explore, please let me know, and I'll assist you further.

Could you please check about the criteria "Last Equity Funding Type"?

There are no startups in the Pre-Seed or Seed stages based on the "Last Equity Funding Type" criterion in the dataset. This indicates that the dataset may not contain startups at these early stages of funding, or the startups present may not align closely with the specific focus of ALFA. If you have other aspects or stages you'd like to explore or if there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know.
