So much incredible information in this document. I think the misstep some Founders make is trying to raise too early. I hear stories all the time about people trying to raise on an idea. And while that can be useful, it is usually the wrong time to go after Investors. We made this mistake and failed miserably. It was only after we had a beta, some customers, and some press that people started to pay attention. Now we're close to closing our seed round and it's because we had better focus around what we were doing, how we were going to do it, and why it was important. At the end of the day, a VC is interested in answering one question, "What's the 10x return?" How will you make them lots of money. Unless the pieces are all there to answer that question, Founders will get a lot of no's. The goal should be to go through your pitch deck and find ways to eliminate the ability for VCs/Angels/Investors to say "no."
