I'd love to know more about the plan, and the milestones you set for yourself. Without a product in market, how did you come up with feasible numbers to reach for?
Here are a bunch more questions just as fodder:
How much did you have to adapt your pitch based on the investor? Did you have multiple pitches, geared to things you knew about an investor going in? Or did you do more of your adaptation on the fly, based on the reaction of the investor?
How many nos did you get before a yes?
Where would you say you wasted the most time, and you would not pitch that type of angel, or not pursue that kind of introduction, etc, next time?
Thanks for the post, and looking forward to your follow up(s)!
