I was fundraising for almost three months before we closed our round. Pitching to investors was so different to speaking with customers and it wasn't until halfway through the process that I got the hang of it.
Pitching to investors requires resilience. I was surprised with the number of no's that we came up against - I realise now that this is quite normal!
We announced the round a few months later!
