I agree with this so much. For me, I was getting so many people hitting me with different advice. Don&#x27;t include this in your pitch deck. Ask for less money. Don&#x27;t reach out without an intro. It&#x27;s tough to know who to listen to. However, the best advice will come from yourself and just putting yourself out there. I met with some really cool VC folks who gave me great feedback. I think the best feedback I got (and would equally give) is to have a thick skin. This is your baby, but if you can&#x27;t take honest criticism then you&#x27;re in the wrong business. People may not like what you are doing, but as long as your open minded enough to listen to the feedback and take it to heart, you&#x27;re doing the right thing.
