I have always been a bootstrap it all the way kind of guy but after my last project I saw how limited my market reach could be if I don't try to raise money to get amazing design and some other stuff to push the product to that viral point.<p>I am currently working on a product, I have the alpha and still working on beta but I really want to raise a small round in exchange for equity to get another programmer to give a few hours here and there. Also want to do a controlled marketing push. I have several viral hacks in the app but obviously need to get a solid base of users before that really takes any significant effect.<p>For startups out there who have raised money, how should I proceed? For Angel Investors out there, I would love to talk.
