jhamar··on Ask HN: 50k round not taken seriously by angels?
No sarcasm . . . How is it not possible to survive for a year for 50k? . . . We do not need an office or need to hire any employees - we just need some hustling cash! . . . where are you guys from?
jhamar··on Ask HN: 50k round not taken seriously by angels?
NJ - 15 minutes from NYC - 50k will be used for some growth hacks and living expenses at my dad's house . . . . just hustling man!
jhamar··on Ask HN: What podcasts are you listening to?
The Ashish Walia Show . . . . Great podcast for people interested in building startups!
jhamar··on Ask HN: 50k round not taken seriously by angels?
Well we have been unofficially launched for two months and just passed 1,000 MAU'S. We have a couple of high profile users (NBA ALL STAR) and we are going to launched again on Product Hunt next week by a well known influencer . . . . The market is growing and we are solving a problem that many others have abandoned. It's just about growing this thing. We need 50k for the next year to focus on growth and increasing the valuation.
jhamar··on Ask HN: 50k round not taken seriously by angels?
Yeah, we are raising 50k at 1m valuation . . . . . I'm guessing they are saying this because the valuation is too high? Maybe investors want more equity . . . . Or they assume that we will need more than 50k to grow which will increase our valuation?
