Quote
Raising funds with just a pitch deck or an idea is extremely rare. Investors are typically not interested in funding your personal expenses while you build the first version of your product. Instead, they want to invest in the growth of your company. To secure funding, it’s important to have a solid plan for how you will use the capital to drive growth and generate returns for investors.

People often invest significant budgets in advertising campaigns, such as billboards and TV ads, but when it comes to purchasing a domain name, they may think, “Why is it not $10?” In some cases, the issue is not about budget constraints but rather a lack of understanding that a domain name is an important strategic asset for marketing and branding.
