Did it take from October to raise $375,000? was that with a single guy on it dedicated or part time fund raising?

nope, the uber just took a really long time to show up. :)

we moved out to silicon valley (from Boston) in December, and had the round spoken for within a month. we just took our time doing the paperwork and announcement.

While not the case in this instance, it is completely normal for raising a round to take six months. The "check that day" folks are very, very, very outside the norm. Fundraising is almost always a slow slog.
