A few years back, well ok maybe almost ten now, but regardless- a recruiter reached out to me about a role at a "series G" company like it was a selling point, and I was just kinda like ok maybe thats signaling its relatively stable and can raise money, but at the same time, that's a lot of rounds to have preferences ensure unprivileged shareholders get nothing, and also to have most of the hockey stick growth already tapped out.
This was in the middle of the boom when companies were fighting over talent, so I found it odd.

Emojis would be far more appropriate for AI startups
They could stop at F and treat it as hexadecimal by adding digits: Series 4F, etc
considering their series F was only ~5 months ago this doesn't seem too far-fetched!
