When to Raise
Raise when money buys you more of something that’s already working — not when you’re hoping it will start something.
Money accelerates; it doesn’t create. This is about the moment when capital actually compounds, and why raising before it is expensive in more ways than dilution.
This piece will cover:
- Raising to accelerate vs. raising to survive
- What has to be working first
- The real cost of raising too early
Working draft — an outline for now; the full version is coming.
