historically have pre-seed funds performed better by keeping resrvers for follow-on or by increasing the number of companies they invest in

Would love to find some aggregated data on historical performance for funds following the two different approaches.

Most small funds can't have reserves. Reserves are viable around the $20m range. This is because, in many cases, just maintaining pro-rata in some of the winners can cost millions of dollars. So it's just not really viable for funds <$10m and it's a sub-optimal strategy for Fund 1s. With Fund 1, you need to get it done, and move on to Fund 2 quick so that you're no longer a new manager.
