- Backed by Founders Inc.
- To be honest, the deal from Korean VCs had a way higher valuation, but we accepted Founders Inc. anyway.
- Maybe would've been different if we had connections in the US, but we didn't. We needed a title that masks our disadvantage of coming from a small university in Asia, and gives us an edge for seed round raising.
- No case of getting a 10M seed round after raising a Korean pre-seed, but plenty of cases after raising a Founders Inc. pre-seed.
- Now we're thinking of skipping the YC stage and getting seed in 3 months.
- Doing every sprint in 3 days, touching all the controversial stuff. Will grow fast and dirty.
