Anyone here trying to raise a PRE-SEED/SEED round?

Curious to see which of you have a company (incorporated and no longer a project) and are looking for pre-seed capital! Drop your one-liner and your domain!

Thanks in advance!

    I'm definitely interested in getting funding for Portabella, privacy friendly project management.

    Going full time on it would enable so much more to be done, everything so far has been during my weekends and after work.

    Additionally the mission and what I stand for (privacy focused applications) are so hot right now. Case in point is Signal (the messaging platform), a privacy first app has been topping the download charts on every major platform recently.

      I checked out Portabella, love what the product does, and really like the design!
      Do you know how much you need to raise?

        Thanks! Good question, what do you think?

        I've worked at a few startups, one that raised $1 million and one that raised $40 million. Both of them went under, but the one that raised only $1 million did a lot more I feel.

        I think my number would boil down to runway * people working on it. I've been solo until now but a 12 month runway + hiring 2-3 others lands us roughly around $300,000 needed.

          Gotcha. Have you put together a pitch deck yet?

            I have not. Hard to justify doing while my todo list is so long but I'll look into it

      I also saw this! Thanks for sharing!
