I posted this question on Hacker News.
We're profitable. We've done our homework. We have proven the business model and customer validation. It's scalable and repeatable. But, we'll need a big investment to grow at the scale we want.
We understand that seed investment can open up doors by giving us introductions and preference when finding the right VC, but our revenue is greater than any seed investment that I've seen.
We're more than willing to give up some equity to grow. We just want the right partnership.
Do you need seed investment if your revenue is greater than what a seed can offer? If you skip getting a seed, how likely is it that you'll get the right VC?
This little blog-o-mine is turning into a rant site. Anyways, I want to order a new suit, but I can't log in using my email address.
Yes. My email address TLD is 4 characters. This just doesn't seem possible that my .name email address is rejected. I first complained about this issue nearly 9 months ago. http://www.tmlewin.co.uk/i'm out.
