    I've tried many things. What really worked was deep connections with other founders who naturally made some fruitful intro to their investors.

    @yc_j That's absolutely true. From what I know, it's not done till it's done. So, yes, while there are many milestones to celebrate, one can only be confident when money hits the bank. We built Aerial to maximize the odds of that happening. We just launched today, so I will appreciate any feedback we can get.
