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
