If I invested a small amount through a SAFE and the company is now kicking off a seed round that will be a priced round, should I invest in more in the company before or after this seed round? Assume I have the money and the risk appetite - just want to know if my money buys more before or after the priced round.

From a dilution perspective, investing as early as you can is better. If you have the conviction, I’d just invest now. Safe will convert to whatever the priced round is anyways, so all you’re doing is double dipping
