6.FOLLOW YOUR IMPULSE WHEN FINDIND A PERFECT:

 “Before taking any amount of funding, find a strategic fit with your investor and their terms. We were offered seed funding very early in PerBlue’s history. The more we examined the terms of the investment, the more we found things that seemed ‘off’ about their offer. Take into consideration board seats, the investor’s equity stake in the business and whether they will receive preferred or common stock. Our biggest red flag was that we just didn’t trust them. Go with your gut and strive to find a strategic fit with your funding options.”Justin Beck Co-founder and CEO of PerBlue.
