Ask HN: What to do with Angel Money?

I noticed that many start-ups put a lot of emphasis on raising large amounts of money through Angels and VC's. What can you/should you use this money for?

"Build infrastructure".

What does that mean exactly? I don't know. I just know that's the best answer to give an investor when they ask why you need their money. Just say "build infrastructure" and they'll nod approvingly.

build or update your product, putting it out, testing and validating assumptions, stick with it until you find traction or have hit some wall, pivot, rinse repeat.
