How to balance being a lone wolf in order to raise money
It's ok to be a lone wolf. But you do need people in order to fundraise and get to your next level.
The solution? Choose a very small number of very high caliber people to guide your journey, and carve out some time weekly to drop it with them to accelerate your growth.
Most of the founders I work with dedicate 45 min per week to drop in with me to co-work on their deck/strategy, and then spend a few hours outside of that up-leveling their deck and doing investor outreach. That's enough to create a huge ripple effect over a few months.
