The decision to raise capital should be an intuitive one for entrepreneurs. Most founders know if they're going to need funding to ultimately reach a level of success.
That being said, there are still some good points here. It can't hurt to make sure you're examining your needs from both sides.
- karamazov 15y agoThis statement doesn't make a lot of sense to me - even if it's "intuitive", there should still be objective criteria one can use to reason out whether or not raising money is a good idea. In fact, I would hope that most people wouldn't just follow their gut on such an important decision - even if the answer seems obvious, something like fundraising is worth investigating closely and carefully. Moreover, there are definitely some situations where people will be unsure what to do; and in those cases, knowing that the decisions "should" be intuitive is of no help whatsoever.

False dichotomy. These things are not mutually exclusive. Absolutely, you should investigate closely and carefully; but the final decision will come from your gut. It has to, because it's ultimately a question of what kind of company you want to build.
