If a start-up is doing fairly but not exceptionally well, would investors usually back out after the seeding round?

If the seed investors are capable of investing more, if the company is headed in the right direction and the startup is making efforts to address shifts in plan or slower than expected market conditions, then yes.
Investors know that forecasts are lies, so missing business plan targets alone is not a reason to come up with another round.

If the seed investor has limited resources or only wants to do early stage deals, then you’ll need to find the money elsewhere. Also if there was a fundamental market or regulatory shift, that could impact also. Good luck!

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs.

They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?
