Would you have any advice for a startup that needs advisors and experience growing a company more than it needs straight up cash?

Is a company that makes this known a turnoff for angels, as by doing so it admits it doesn't have 'everything quite worked out'?




Find some advisors and mentors, then.

Honestly, set yourself up to make some mistakes and learn from them. Advice is rarely that useful.

If you don't need venture capital, don't raise. It sets certain expectations and puts you on a specific path.
