On January 4th, 2023 Term Sheet, a well-known financial newsletter by Fortune (typically regarding PE/VC) posted a series of predictions regarding the calendar year 2023.
One of these predictions was the following:
“Expect to see more insider-led funding rounds, particularly given the economic climate.” —Dr. Galym Imanbayev, partner, Lightspeed Venture Partners
I will not attempt to initially define all resolution criteria in this market and will instead attempt to handle any nuances/complications/data feasibility as it arises. If by end of 2023 I think it is not possible to confidently resolve this market in the spirit in which it was intended, I reserve the right to resolve as "n/a".
Any clarifications to the resolution criteria will be listed below, along with the applicable date:

Resolving this at 80%, primarily based on my personal experience with companies / GPs unwilling to take 3rd party discounts and seeking additional capital from existing investors / continued relationships. I wasn't able to find any strong analysis on this, and would happily modify the resolution if anyone wants to chime in with information that might help me to update.
