Ask HN: If you were me, what steps would you take to raise 100k seed?
I have been working for startups for almost 18 years now, but never my "own". Always for big companies or CEO's making them a lot of money.
What I don't have is any direct experience soliciting funding myself or any experience being solicited. Essentially I have no real world examples of what works best for the ask. (And I learn best by example)
I have 3 (legit) web based products that are launch ready but my revenues are 0 currently and my side income is now $0. I've exhausted my savings.
I need advice on how to best proposition my advocates that I'm ready to launch and invite them to join. Specifically what I'm looking for are some examples of how to approach this, how to structure the deal - Is it equity? How much?
How do you split it across companies. Is it a loan? What are acceptable term examples?
I honestly would appreciate ANY feedback and recommendations.
What I need is a few months of expenses to allow enough runway to get customers. But I'm stuck in this loop of a day job to stay fed.
I'm based in Austin.
