And we received offers of support from successful founders who have raised funding, bootstrapped, and those who’ve done both: +1 on that! And apparently, the message resonated… In less than 48 hours we received opt-ins from 3,800 founders, investors and onlookers. Would love to chat and see how/if we can help.
