When we approached our investors, we clearly communicated that our intent was not to use most of the capital raised for funding receivables, but rather to create a financing solution that allows us to operate effectively.

We were fortunate to receive donations from some of the best investors and entrepreneurs in the world, which we take seriously.

We raised both equity and debt to finance our operations, allowing us to provide landlords with cash upfront while maintaining a sustainable business model.

We learned that finding investors who specialize in hardware was crucial, as they understood our vision and supported us.

We structured our financing to generate attractive returns for investors while using the capital raised to operate the business effectively.

After facing significant setbacks, we took back control from our investors and focused on learning from our mistakes to develop a better product.

I prepared for fundraising by knowing our numbers inside and out, which allowed me to confidently answer any questions investors had during meetings.

We have been successful because we are good at forecasting and do not overpromise, which has helped us maintain strong investor confidence.

Understanding that we were reinventing the funding industry allowed us to prioritize customer happiness as a key driver of our business.
