Don’t expect them to believe your $100M revenue projection, if you are still waiting for the first revenue dollar. A CEO who has “been there and done that” is traction, especially if teamed with a financial lead (CFO) and a product lead (CTO). Get a real customer and real revenue. Only real results count.
