Could you please guide if I need SOC 2 audit before I lock a customer? Right now I don't have any. It doesn't feel right to spend this much money and time on something without having the surety that someone one would become a customer after it is SOC 2 compliant. Thanks

If just having a customer is the goal, before being in talks with a customer who really want you to be SOC2 compliant, its definitely a waste of your resources- time and money. I would suggest, when you find such customers, and they really like your product and an audit like SOC2 is what is behaving like a deal breaker, only then go for SOC2
