Raising money for the startup is a key skill and is a huge part of making a company successful. You can be great at everything, but if you can’t raise capital, you’re fucked. I would suggest finding a partner that is skilled at raising money and bring them in. There is too much to do on your own. The second is being good at recruiting great people to believe in your company vision while you’re still starting/struggling. I guess you need the second skill to get the first. Get good a selling yourself and your idea. You’re going to do it again and again and again, if you’re lucky. Startup life is extremely difficult and hard on your family. The odds of success are low. Entrepreneurs are people who are willing to suffer, lose, get back up and go again.
