Is waiting better? Surely it would be better to be early, before faith is lost? Being late to a party as it’s deflating is the worst case I think

My hunch is that it’s better to be late in this scenario because now your moves are under public scrutiny or at least neck-deep. People can pull out, it could slow them down and at the end look worse.
As a privately held company, it functions under different dynamics that in the environment we’re seeing feels better to stay private for longer.
