Revenue is the magnet that attracts everything else—capital, ambitious talent, and customers who want to back a winner.

“Raise just enough money so you feel like you’re under pressure.”

That was Steven Trieu's (CFO of 8090 Solutions/Social Capital) advice when we asked how founders should think about fundraising.

Steve’s framework is simple: Raise enough oxygen to reach your next meaningful milestone, but no more.
