People paying good money for shares will jump at the chance to buy them cheaper.
A CEO closing an investment round may have very different incentives, like not frightening the horses.
[edit, clarity]
I'm not saying you should do this. Nor am I suggesting it's a good tactic. But it may provide leverage if you need some.
If you want to run a marathon, the most important thing is to run 1k per day. Once you're out in the road, the distance will take care of itself.

Re: edit, absolutely. Crowd investment into a portfolio / fund vehicle is a great idea. Likely to be more like a quant fund / index tracker though, rather than professionally managed -- because who wants to pay 3% annual fees. And what would you logically track? AIM or crowd equity platforms because they are your signal.
We're absolutely looking to attract people who are motivated by the ideas and the opportunity but we do also aim to pay relatively competitive salaries.
Which perspective do you comment from? Are you used to working in a higher paid environment?
It's described as client - db - server rather than client - server - db. I believe there are also Firebase queue and task abstractions that make it fairly easy to map a write to a 'backend handler'.
Where running faster means being better at operating the new machines.
I half won and then firmly lost a project around then to port their video serving to our web tv platform.
Lost due to severe inability to manage such a project but we had a nice multi-format video player for the time: js abstraction over different players for different platforms (flash, quicktime, windows media, ...).
The challenge is liquidity, ie how do you seed the network and content but if you can solve that you can operate a review service for a fraction of the resources currently being wasted on these red queen races.
Think like a Grandmaster is a great book that illustrates how tactical chess analysis is -- all about iteration and composition of simple value judgements.
However, I have found books about chess strategy to be a very useful way to practise tactical thinking. For example, following the thematic sections in Think like a Grandmaster, or something like Bobby Fischer's analysis of his most memorable games (which both cover strategic concepts like two bishops or a strong centre) requires tactical analysis -- you're visualising moves and combinations in your head and making value judgements about positions just to follow along.
So strategy is a great way for an older player to keep tactical practice interesting!
You can define access control policies on a resource by resource basis. These can, where necessary, allow or deny permissions to individuals or roles based on the resource and request data.
There's a nice demo / walk through of capabilities here https://github.com/mmerickel/pyramid_auth_demo
