Startups excel at problem-solving and experimentation, eventually aiming for product-market fit and scalability.
Startup founders should be early, well-prepared, and willing to walk away from investor meetings if necessary.
Fundraising is more than just securing cash; it involves establishing valuable long-term investor relationships.
Key questions for founders to ask potential investors include inquiring about their track record, value-added benefits, investment thesis, strategic understanding of the problem space, and the odds of success.
