So you’re ready for outside investment.
…or are you?
The decision to take on someone else’s money is a huge one. If you’re going to sacrifice some autonomy, and ask someone to risk their capital, you have to know exactly what your goals are — and what your business is realistically capable of.
And of course, you need to know how much scratch you’re asking for.
Today, we discuss the complex factors involved in making this calculation, and how to know if your startup is ready. By making a thoughtful assessment of what your company can become, and how long it will take, you can seek the funding you really need — and give your investors the best ROI.
