保罗·格雷厄姆:如何融资·第5则
保罗·格雷厄姆《《如何融资》》· How to Raise Money · 成长 · 投资 · 行动
Introducing an investor to your cofounder(s) should be like introducing a girl/boyfriend to your parents — something you do only when things reach a certain stage of seriousness. Even if there are still one or more founders focusing on the company during fundraising, growth will slow. But try to get as much growth as you can, because fundraising is a segment of time, not a point, and what happens to the company during that time affects the outcome. If your numbers grow significantly between two investor meetings, investors will be hot to close, and if your numbers are flat or down they'll start to get cold feet.

白话
融资期间公司增长会变慢,但还是要尽量保持增长,因为融资是一段时间而不是一个点,这段时间的表现会影响结果。如果两次见投资人之间数据明显增长,他们会急着成交;如果数据持平或下降,他们就会退缩。另外,把投资人介绍给联合创始人要像带对象见父母一样,只有关系到了严肃阶段才做。即使有创始人继续专注公司,融资也会拖慢增长,所以要在融资期间尽可能维持增长势头。
