Wild that some founders don’t know you can get payroll tax credits for software dev AND that they think a “special accountant” changes the outcome. Rules are fixed. No accountant can get you more. If they say otherwise, they’re lying.

Common mistake I see. So much is out of a founder’s control, that when something finally works, they rush to optimize it. Even if how it worked was “linear” growth. They want to hold onto it. When they should keep iterating for that thing that has exponential growth.

I never understand the debate on bootstrapping vs. not. And especially the whole “I oWn 100% of ThE whOle ThInG” Just do what’s best for your business. AND don’t be stubborn about it. For what you’ve decided to build, raising might be the only way, AND the BEST way

The only thing that matters at seed stage is your vision and any level of traction. But at series A, some metrics start to help you tell a story. And knowing which to use and why is an underrated skill.

If anything is changing in your business, your runway from yesterday is wrong. How different would your decision making be if you had 20 or 29 months of runway?
