- Raising funds needs to be contextual. It's better to know what you are going to be using the money for. It's also good to raise when its easier than when it's hard
- Working in the industry you're building can give you a lot of context initially
- Keeping the things you will replace eventually (eg. CRM) free and charging only for what you think will stick and add value
- Being honest and open. Don't let emotions and money sway you away your company and goals. Keep grinding no matter at which stage you are
- Longetivity of a company can be a leverage. Doing manual things before LLMs places you perfectly on using LLMs when they are viable.
