I was thinking of bootstrapping mine, but I did think of pitching to angel investors. I’m building an ai travel based website. I’ve been a nomad, traveled to 25 countries and found a problem of how time consuming travel planning is so my beta users are my nomad friends.

Hi! Here @ Exodus Indus. our platform, the ‘TPL’, has been able to compress the development & design cycles for automakers and racing teams alike- while also eliminating late stage redevelopment (HUGE for automakers)

That sounds a lot like factory founders. No room for creativity or vision or experimentation. At that point you could just have VC self run AI companies by themselves

I started American Drone Network and we manage fleet and compliance for everything from Agriculture drones to Government contracts. We have a “pay as you go model” We got cash flow positive quick but we have such rapid growth opportunities and software integration that I opened up second round early. All good problems but got $4mil to go in order to take my foot off the brake.

What advice do you have for someone working at a company that’s moving quickly, constantly iterating, and actively incorporating customer feedback?

"Dutton's pushback is worth sitting with, the "know in 12 months" rule is a great default, but not every opportunity moves at the same speed, and confusing a slow validation cycle with a bad idea is its own trap

There are 3 types of oil wells. Ones where you stick straw into the earth and it pours. One that never produces, one that produces some. Which is the worst? One that produces some

it depends. sometimes you are too early for a market, but then can hit a ton of growth. I mean you passed on our pre-seed almost two years ago, but then we signed 3 fortune 500s this month.

Is pre-revenue funding still possible in this market?

Lots of truth here, but I will say that some opportunities do take more than a few months to really validate end to end.

these ai companies are high risk/high reward, many seem overvalued, "old economy" companies may be a safer bet?

Yup! Just launched Spookling.com and already figuring out what customers want/don’t want. It’s refreshing. Used to take like 6 months before…
