ON RAISING A $1.3M SEED ROUND
Our Story
Fundraising is not about money, it’s about building belief
Evangelists rock
COMPELLING STORYbacked by proof points goes long way
BOLD is Gold!
TIRE KICKERSAre everywhere!
Valuation shouldn’t be a deal breaker
EXITS are boring!
The toughest question
How are you different from the competition?
Urgency closes deals sooner
Funding is not the end, it’s just the beginning
