Yes getting $1M to $2M raised because of demo day is reasonable. Yet closing $2M on demo day without subsequent follow up meetings would be very impressive!

$1 million doesn’t get you very far these days.

That only pays for the salaries of 5 engineers. And what about rent? That takes one salary itself. Which only leaves you with enough money for 4 engineers.

Give me 5 engineers and I will change the world.
Well, if you can encourage them to work 70 hours a week, and you work for free, then you’d get the equivalent of 10 engineers.
I will never encourage anyone to work 70 hours a week.
