As we neared our launch, we officially became a couple and launched our company in 2015, aiming to raise a million dollars through crowdfunding.

We were confident about our startup, thinking we would get a lot of PR and funding, and we did receive significant media attention and raised $1.2 million in funding.

Raising our first half a million dollars was more challenging than raising our first $200 million, as investors were skeptical about mobile voice technology at the time.

I leveraged personal connections to get introductions to investors, which was crucial in raising my first million before Y Combinator.

After securing $50,000 from two investors in one day, we felt like we could finally make something happen with our business, which had previously been struggling.

We raised two and a half million dollars on a twelve million dollar valuation after nine months of fundraising post-Y Combinator demo day.

After exiting Y Combinator, we achieved $200,000 in revenue within six weeks, and by the end of the year, we reached about $1 million, showcasing our rapid growth trajectory.

I raised 1.6 million and obsessively built the company for three years, achieving 8.4X growth in one year, which led to a position where I didn't need the money when I went to raise again.

We raised our Series A after initially facing many rejections, but ultimately secured $3-4 million from various investors.
