Founders

FarFounders, what's the story behind your first VC check? Any significant lessons along the way?

The actual main check came from two years of relationship building before ever started to pitch anything.

Close as soon as reasonably (necessary paperwork, etc)  possible ( by close, aka get money in the bank) . Don’t let the whole process be delayed for any other reason.

Was an angel fund where the LPs were a lot more involved than typical LPs, actually interacted with the companies they invested in.

There's no doubt that building a relationship before building a product is crucial. At that early stage, they're more interested in the founders than the product.

The connections they provided helped close the round, so that was great.
