    Great video. Quick question. What are some of the tools/resources use? Raising <$2mn. Have an incorporated company and a bank account. Based in UK. I hear in this video an e-sign solution like docusign. Legal templates available online. CRM which for me is googlesheet. What else? A solution to manage cap table? Some workflow tool - could be the CRM? Thanks for your help.

    You popped up on my feed and I was wondering how you would change your advice for the current climate? I am founder of a bootstrapped stealth company (more Palantir-esque than a Chat GPT wrap) and am about to look into pre-seed/seed funding. Would like to get your thoughts.

    it looks like you have abandoned this channel? I saw this video and it was helpful. Every business uses technology in some way or another. Even Real Estate uses tech, but companies that do office cleaning or ship food to your home are saying they are tech! It's crazy. We are a cross between Real Estate and Sports, but our scheduling and ordering is done online. We will have an app for our on-site users for when they are not on-site. This doesn't make us a tech company. Any suggestions of where to find a group that wants to solve a problem, has a huge and growing market, and would like to work with my all-star team of experienced leaders.

    Thanks for your video. I can feel that all advices are based on honesty and generosity. Could you advise on firming a company in legal. Would you recommend to hire a lawyer to process it? Or is it something founders can do by themselves maybe?

    Thanks for sharing your journey. Many times you see the stories of successful startup founders but they don’t discuss about ups and down and how they pivoted to arrive at a great idea and how they got their first customers. That’s the most useful and important information for early stage founders tinkering with ideas.
