I suppose you've fundraised at some point in the past 13 years. If you have, the advice you probably received was to start with the tier 3 VCs, hone your pitch, and move on to the VCs you really wanted to work with once you had your pitch nailed.

The same principle applies here. The more interviews you do, the more comfortable you'll get, the better it'll go. And who knows, it might work out with one of the first companies you interview at!

That sounds like a good idea but oddly enough the first startup (the one I was at 10 years) only raised a friend and family and we were able to land customers and bootstrap from that and the second one I bootstrapped out of a little cash I got from the first one so no investors to go to per say.

Thanks for the advice, though!
