We @tapchief announced today that we raised some $$$. This seems like a good time to share how we hustled to bring on 50+ amazing investors to back us. Hopefully it'll help other young founders not be as clueless as we were!
Please RT if you liked reading :) With a sem of college to go in '16, we sold a small product that made a decent amount of 💸 the time. Some things fascinated us,

1. We built this out of a remote location like Pilani
2. We picked up all skills by learning off the internet
3. We did this without a full-time job

Got an A2A on this Quora question today - What is the best advice for a young, first-time startup CEO? Here's what I would have told myself 3 years ago -
1/You aren't actually a CEO yet. You are a builder, people & money manager and even an office boy, if need be. Embrace it. 2/Your job is to ensure the company breaks through and adds actual value to your customers, employees, investors etc. Focus on that before you go out to give interviews, speak at events etc. They are not the best use of your time.
