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:)
