If you have Pro users why not leverage with debt without giving up equity for no good reason?

Maybe the value prop is not clear, the website talks a bunch about AI agent integrations, that sounds like a completely different product to a parser library, which however advanced it may be, investors will likely see as tangential bit of IP that a senior engineer can build for $10-20k in a few days.

Thanks for the suggestion! At this stage, debt is not a feasible option for us. Our focus is on scaling the business quickly and VC funding is the preferable route to achieve that. Having the runway and support from investors will allow us to fully dedicate ourselves to growth and execute our vision effectively. Re value prop - true. While the existing clients are using FIXParser as a plain old library I was thinking where the puck is going to be, it's going to be all MCP with A2A frameworks so i pivoted and most of the focus was on building the MCP features. We have received interest from VERY prominent firms in finance thanks to our focus on MCP FIX features. I doubt that a sr engineer can put that together in a few days.
