I know many of you are struggling to figure out how to put one foot before the other in your quest for a successful entrepreneurial journey. I also know that many of you are continuously chasing investors over customers.
Stop doing that. Do the right thing in the right order. Customers first. Investors later.
Bring customers, revenues, a validated investment thesis, business model, pricing model, and market sizing model to the investors.
Chances are, you will get funded.
And if not, your customers will help you become a sustainable, profitable, successful business.
Isn’t that the point?
Note:
You can keep up with the 1M/1M portfolio in our Deal Radar series (companies who have crossed $1M) and also through our Incubation Radar series (companies already in revenue, but below the $1M revenue threshold). The best place to find them is on our Coverage of 1M/1M Premium Members page.
One caveat: we do not force our members to disclose numbers unless they want to. As a result, you will not find our entire portfolio on DR or IR.
