Not realistic yet: A Series A is not the next step from idea. Reach repeatable growth first. The deadline also leaves too little time to create that proof and run a normal raise.

The next three steps

idea to validation to working first product to first revenue to repeatable growth

Not realistic yet
  1. 1

    Check that the problem is real

    Talk to 10 to 15 people.

  2. 2

    Choose one narrow first customer

    One buyer, one painful job.

  3. 3

    Show the idea before building the full product

    Sketch or demo before you build.
