Ask HN: How long to grow organically?

3 pointsby eberfreitasover 15 years ago
Hi guys!<p>I have this startup in Brazil and we are 7 months old now. By the 6th month we had a small reduction on our numbers. That is because we were not involved with the project, implementing new things, interacting with people and so on. I got married and my partner was having a baby by that time.<p>I'm pitching some investors and one of them wants to know why we had that reduction. Why the numbers didn't increased organically even with our absence, based on the products quality.<p>My question is... Is it possible to a fairly new startup, with no money for advertising, grow organically on an emerging market? Is his doubt reasonable?

In my opinion, it doesn't matter if his doubt is reasonable, as long as you want to get funds from him, you better explain why. Good luck with your startup!:)
