> It also puts you in a terrible position to raise bridge rounds and other financing. Every investor and lender isn't incentivized to give good terms. Why wouldn't a lender lend in this scenario? It's almost zero risk. It wouldn't be a good negotiating position if there was no other lenders, but there would presumably be plenty of lenders interested in providing a "small" bridging loan in a situation like this. And those lenders will have to compete.
