Good question. It's not only about how many users you have, it also (and sometimes even more importantly) about: 1. What the conversion rate is (visitor to user or click to paying customer, etc...). 2. What your user life cycle is. 3. How engaged the users are. 4. What your profit % is from e...
I don't think there's a right—meaning, sane—answer here. How much capital do you think you'll need over the next 4-5 years? Series A? Series B? So on?

A convertible note is a possible route. It would provide the owner with a discount to the price set at your next round of funding. For example, assume you give the note holder a 50% discount on your next round. Then your Seed Round sets the price at $10 per share/unit, the note owner would be abl...
