If you don't ABSOLUTLY need the money, don't ask for it....but
My thing these days is to tell start-ups to think twice about ‘raising’ money.
It’s not easy. It takes a lot of energy. It brings you to focus on one more thing in your day to day quest to shine. It will bring you ups and downs. It will bring your % down. It could kill you reputation
But hey, it could also:Make you a better person. Test your limits of doing something that might not be natural to you. Help you build a network of contacts. Build your reputation.It’s your call.Not your advisor’s call or your mother call. It’s yours.
