Re:Why Funding can Kill Your Startup Fast – Emerging Market on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @12:28PM (#12305880)

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

Re:Why Funding can Kill Your Startup Fast – Emerging Market on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @12:26PM (#12305864)

It's hard for any product to sell itself, especially in a crowded Market. I believe good product is easier to sell.

Re:Why Funding can Kill Your Startup Fast – Emerging Market on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @08:50AM (#12304218)

Oh I see, my bad. Thanks for pointing that out.
