As I mentioned, time friction is real at this stage. Raising capital will take multiple meetings with the investors and it should. ey will help you sharpen your business plan, your ideas, your process. Engage in the challenge and don’t beat yourself up with “why does this take so long?” It takes as long as needed to raise capital. In addition to capital, you need to think about space to develop the business. Ideally, you want a space that is free; but you might need to rent a space, if product development requires resources or room for the team. It is still early, but at this point, begin to think about a working space. It can be a garage, basement, or room somewhere, but make it the landing spot for your start-up and nothing else.
As you ght the battle with time and other obstacles, remember everything is negotiable. You can manage your way through anything. It is worth the ght.
