Pressure-test raising money vs staying bootstrapped
Use when torn between taking investment and growing on revenue.
Act as an advisor with no stake in whether I raise, only in my best outcome.
Business: {{business}}
Current revenue and growth: {{traction}}
Why I am considering raising: {{reason_to_raise}}
What I would lose by giving up equity / control: {{concerns}}
My personal goals (lifestyle vs swing-for-fences): {{personal_goals}}
Give me:
1. The honest case FOR raising for this specific business.
2. The honest case FOR staying bootstrapped.
3. What raising actually buys and whether I need that now or in 12 months.
4. Dilution and control consequences in plain terms.
5. A recommendation tied to my personal goals, plus the milestone that would flip the answer.
