Frá seed-umferð í framleiðslu
Sótti seed $200k. Fyrsti greiðandi viðskiptavinurinn eftir 18 daga.
Söfnuðu seed $200k, þurftu vöru fyrir fyrstu viðskiptavinina — í gær. Ekkert verkfræðiteymi.
Founder closed a $200k pre-seed round. He had an idea, a deck and 15 potential customers from a waitlist.
No engineering team and no time to assemble one. Every week of delay broke promises to investors and bled the waitlist.
Build budget capped at $15k. Beyond that, customer cash flow or the next round had to pay.
Full-stack MVP: auth, dashboard, billing, API. Sett í gang á 18 dögum, fyrsti greiðandi á degi 27.
