Probably a better title would be "How we raised $250k of angel finance in twenty years"

The point is they received funding from friends and established contacts. My guess is it would have been much longer than four days if they didn't have these relationships.

True - we did raise from established contacts. However, we only met them through a lot of hard networking and continual evenings spent discussing ideas, helping others with theirs etc.

I hoped that the point of the article would be that once those relationships have been made, the funding itself can be (but isn't always) straightforward.

It would be interesting to hear others' stories on this point, if you want to share them?

So the point here in this 1000+ word article is that it's not what you know, but who you know?

A good point to understand about life if you haven't gotten it yet.
