What was the roughly $300,000 in consulting fees for? How do the typically help startups? And did you find them yourselves or were they recommended by the VCs?

What was the roughly $300,000 in consulting fees for? How do the typically help startups? And did you find them yourselves or were they recommended by the VCs? Is it business/process consulting? Do you feel not having a non-programming founder was beneficial or a hindrance? This is awesome that you guys did this btw. Really eye opening. Thanks.
