0) get some cash from yc
1) work on our product (6 months)
2) raise an angel round of several hundred k based on demos pre launch (4 months from start to finish)
3) launch our initial product
4) get buzz in media
5) 3 months after launch, raise series A
Based on the amounts new yc alums are raising now even pre-demo day, I think it's getting easier to compress the time between steps 0 and 5.
Thanks. The follow up question is , how much traction did you get to close Angel round. How much did you have to ramp up to get to Series A.
About me : I am trying to figure out the scope and product-market fit for my idea and trying to decide how much money I need to save up and how much functionality needs to be ready before taking the plunge.
