This post is a great post to remind entrepreneurs that getting funding is not a success. I often discuss with companies coming to us looking for funding that things change when they get money. You now have shareholders with expectations and you have obligations to them. When you are running on a shoestring, often decisions are easy because only the most important things can get done; everything else falls by the wayside. When you have cash in the bank, suddenly the universe of options is much larger - do I hire more people, do I invest in marketing, etc. It's an exciting but daunting moment. Congratulations on the funding; your job just got harder:)
I would pop the champagne, you get the opportunity to realize your dream, isn't that amazing? Instead of growing slowly / difficult / .. you now have money to hire amazing people and accelerate your development progress.<p>Damn, I get even excited typing about it.
Nice article. I would've assumed you were so hungover, that none of that would've happened. (I would've replied that if someone had asked me).<p>It makes sense in a very practical way. You're a startup, and you really need to <i>focus</i> on that startup, no matter what happens.
Didn't know about this service. But it look awesome! I'm going to try to start using it tomorrow at work :)<p>Whats the limitation on the "free trial" version except the 7 emails/day ?
