Does a seed stage startup really have a chance with angels if he's/she's the only one doing everything? And everything but the sales have begun?

Absolutely has a chance. Angels, like all early pre-seed & seed investors, love to see that.

Pitch to angels whose values & thesis align with what you’re trying to accomplish

I've posted my stuff on USINVESTMENTNETWORK.COM AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING IVE GOTTEN SOME INTREST 50K SO FAR OFFERED FOR THE 550K IM LOOKING FOR AND NOW 20K FROM FRIENDS.
THAT WAS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED, ITS TAKEN SO MUCH TO GET THIS FAR I ALMOST GAVE UP.

Just sold 100 units to a company in Tennessee. Apparently a friend told him of it and he said send them as soon as he's got them in the package. Very excited, now if my packaging would show up with the rest of the components to cover the core product to make it look like something that would be fantastic. $3995 first approach of an automotive fleet. They said if they work they would get them for the entire fleet.

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster. He pampered me a lot before and now he hardly talks. We both have switched to different companies (earlier were in the same) and now he works 6 days a week. Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.

How much would you consider investing on a company that’s ‘high risk’ in the sense that it is a social-media? The goal is to sell in 3-5 years. This has been created in an established market, has increasing site visits by the day and hour… the vision and market need is clear. The hustle of the team is undeniable.

What other questions would you want answered? Is 200k for 20% unrealistic?

Hi everyone, just received my Stock Option Agreement and am wondering if having a “Discretionary Nature of Plan” is common. Essentially, it says that the Plan is voluntary by the company and may be modified and suspended by the company at any time, which is very unsettling and weird to me. Anyone here had that experience?

Thanks a lot
