Hi! I can see that you're brave enough to be open about this weakness of yours here. That's a good trait of an entrepreneur, kudos!

As I see it, you don't want to "fail the first time you do it" - so you don't want your visitors to get negative initial impression simply because of some poorly written texts, which translate to being unprofessional. If you already have co-founders/teammates/friends, that have good communication skills, it's better to have them proof-read ALL your texts. Again, as I guess, you don't have one yet, that's why we are here.

If at this phase of your startup, you are willing to recruit co-founders/teammates to handle your communications, go ahead, it will make your product and your presentations (for your investors) language error free and better. However, I will not recommend that you choose them just for this purpose; your co-founders/teammates have to, primarily, help you build your product and your business – these two are the most important things about your startup.

So I strongly suggest that you focus on building your product and marketing/business strategies first, and not worry about English technicalities. Launch it, achieve your investment level, and setup your operations. Once you have the money, you can hire quality marketing personnel to help you make your texts smarter and effective. Good luck!
