If you’re a scalable startup, you want to spend small amounts of money (seed capital) as you run experiments testing your hypotheses. A seed round can come from friends, family, Kickstarter, angels – and most importantly, early customers. Why small amounts? No startup ever spends less then it raises. When to raise money.

That's one of the very, very early companies that I was talking to Lean Startup about. I'm really curious, for now and when founders encounter Lean Startup, it's a famous old idea for most folks. We had to raise some seed capital. So, that's how I came to Silicon Valley in the first place. ER : I remember Speed Date.
