So like I always try to pitch VCs that I'm not interested in first before I move on to VCs I am interested in just to like get all the questions out of the way.
So like I can give like a much more complete like data room, for example, towards the end.
And then they're impressed because they're like, oh wow, like,
You've really been diligent about creating this.
And like, you have all the data I need.
I don't have to ask you for more data.
So you just want to polish up your presentation for, I would say like tier one VCs.
So do that.
And then another thing, I guess if I were a founder raising like a seed round or even maybe a series a.
The Kickstarter works especially well when you're going after micro funds or angel investors, because angel investors and micro funds do a lot less diligence.
Like a lot of times like micro funds, I would call this like a fund size of anything below, let's call like $50 million.
They don't really do diligence.
Like they'll make a decision, write a check in one day versus these like more institutional VCs.
Like it's their job to do a bunch of diligence, right?
So they are like, they may take two weeks before they wire you the money because they're making sure everything is like crisscrossed.
I mean, I wouldn't call it gate kept.
I feel like this is just like something people like know, right?
But like, obviously, if you take loans out against your assets, you never really have to pay taxes.
So what a lot of people do, and I would just like to clarify, I was not able to do this because my company got bought, right?
So then I got a cash payout.
