My best advice for raising capital: Only raise one round. Here’s why: When you start raising VC, you're gonna give away about 20% of the company at every round. If you're planning to raise 3-4 times, you can't afford to give away more than 20%. It will be impossible to raise more money later because you won't have enough percentage on your cap table without giving away total ownership. Here’s how you can hack that rule as a founder: You only dilute yourself 20%, but you still get the capital to get off the ground. Those first VCs will be fortunate too - they’ll be in a high growth company with low dilution to their initial allocation.
