There is no "one size fits all", but remember that investment is for scaling something that already has traction/strong signals from the market. ALWAYS bootstrap as far as you can first, then if you do go the investment route it is crucial to have mutual alignment. Investors should not be ONLY investing money. Startups should not be ONLY seeking money. Both must be aligned and fully...

It's a personal choice and depends on your objective. I wrote a short article about I here which includes a founder who is very effectively building in public. Hope it lends some insight https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/w...

Not sure if this might be what you are looking for Elena https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

I'm from Northern Ireland, but business is based in California US so spend a lot of time in the US

Agreed, having a native way to reach connections here would make things much easier. There would need to be a way to avoid spam copy/paste messages tho because that would create havoc! A filtering system would also help to streamline convos and label lists of "fave products" etc...

100%!! I always ask for some context before agreeing to a meeting because I do not like bait'n switch outreach. We just respect everyone's time!

SAVED To my RESOURCES folder You know I think it's a great tool if I'm saving it to share with other founders :D

My best ideas come when I'm looking for something and can't find it lol

Share valuable content on personal profiles first to build your community before doing a newsletter to give yourself a higher chance of genuine subscribers.

Great tool Alessio👌🏼🔥

It depends on what your longterm goal is, scalability, and the type of investment you seek. Angels may go in earlier. Venture Capital investment is for scaling (when you already have traction in engaged users/customers/revenue),it's not validating/fixing problems etc. It also depends on how many are on the CAP table and dilution.
