How well is your company doing? How many users do you have? How fast are you growing? How much revenue are you generating?

If your numbers are good, chances are that the investors will pay attention, even if they’re not immediately interested in your space.

If someone is pitching something that is consistently growing at 50 percent per week, I’m reaching for my checkbook, and you can explain to me what it is later. It’s that simple.
