Hi Liu, Just wanted to second Tony's thoughts on getting to know an investor before taking on any money. No matter how much they trust you, an investor is going to want reports, tracking of numbers and to know how you plan to increase revenue tomorrow? You need to decide how you want to run your business. Then again she might be a great partner. Proceed with caution and you will figure out the best choice.
Good luck! All the best, Felicity Cubes&crayons in SF and SV Outside the Cube in SF On Jul 1, 4:41 pm, Tony Bacigalupo <tonybacigal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Liu, > > That's great!
