Also : as a matter of fact there are 2 kind of startups ; the one that have overcommitted financing round and the one are under committed / struggling getting financing.
If the startup is looking for money meaning case 2 : not sure it’s a good idea to invest at the begging unless you know what you are doing
In case 1/ if it’s overcommitted remember that there is a limited amount of capital in a company and the founder doesn’t need money (he is over committed) he/she is looking for smart money : meaning if you want to be in the cap table : bring smartness. There is no free lunch ;-)
