"Why will an investor invest in you when you have not even made 1 sale?"

Well, to get a great deal for starters. Once you do have some sales you are going to have investors lining up at the door.

We have a lot of sales and we don't have investors lining up at the door.

Maybe not, but if you have good numbers you'll have a good valuation and any investor who comes in will need to put more money on the table for the same share.

Good numbers gives good valuation. My theory is run after your clients/customers and investor will run after you
