How early should we start fundraising?
Start building relationships 6–9 months before you need capital. Investors fund momentum, not ideas — have traction or a compelling prototype first.
What do investors look for in a seed deck?
Clear problem, unique insight, team credibility, early traction, and a credible path to a large market. Keep it under 15 slides.
How do we set a fair valuation pre-revenue?
Look at comparable rounds in your space, team strength, and market size. Pre-seed typically ranges $4–8M; seed $8–15M depending on traction.
Should we raise from angels or VCs first?
Angels move faster and add strategic value early. VCs bring larger checks and follow-on capacity. Many founders do angels first, then institutional.
