Investment, would love to help you out if you send me over your Pitch Deck on a call!
I'm not trying to be a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian, but can you afford to NOT do proper screening on VCs? If you're averaging $100K/month in revenue, then you'll be the pick of the litter, assuming your pro forma, etc., add up for the investors. A bad fit in an investor can hurt...
Hi - I'd probably look into both ways at first. Then decide which is more feasible. Efficiently, would be through contracting out a device maker if you work with an experienced and reputable company. If you have the experience in development, then this could be efficient in house as well but ag...
It depends on the size of your round but the honest truth is that none of them are effective by themselves. They can be helpful in constructing the total round, but would almost never be able to raise 100% of the round, assuming you're talking about a true seed round of at least $750k. If you...
Mark is wrong. I personally know of a handful of companies in that exact same situation and most importantly that have good traction and the cap table NEVER came up once, and each of these companies have raised in excess of $1m in seed funding from great investors this year. Especially if your ...

With all respect to Dan, I'm not seeing anything like that. You said "pre-revenue." If it's pre-revenue and enterprise, you don't have anything proven yet. You would have to have an insanely interesting story with a group of founders and execs on board with ridiculous competitive advantage bui...
Since no one has actually answered your question, let me try and give you some specific guidance: The "fair" range would probably land between $5m-$15m pre-money. For the low-end ($5-6m) to be fair, you'd be in a tiny (measured by total addressable market) with slow growth on that $2m as mea...
Assuming that you have a product in market and have some traction 1. What is your growth plan? 2. What is your 3, 10, 20, 30, 60 day retention numbers? 3. If you have UGC, what is the % of DAU who are creating content? 4. What is the ratio of DAU to MAU to install base? 5. What is the viral coeff...
From what I have heard from some successful crowd fund raisers. You are better to spend time getting yourself organized before you start your campaign. Make sure you have a least a team of four people and ensure that everyone knows there role and the tasks that they are responsible for.
