How much did he raise again? He says he didn't get meetings until after the August vacation period. And announced the funding October 13th. Does it really only take 6 weeks to put together a multi-million (?) dollar round?
- wensing 15y agoNo, it takes all the work before you ever talk to an investor plus a certain amount of time which for him could have between six weeks given the traction of DDG.

- epi0Bauqu 15y agoI didn't say, but it was 3M. As for August, I did get meetings before, it just caused trouble because some meetings I couldn't get before, or there would be large period between meetings, which hurts momentum. And that all adds up to it being harder to align the time-line across multiple firms.
