Avoid talking to investors when not actively raising
When starting a company, it can be tempting to engage with investors who reach out. However, it is recommended to avoid one-off meetings with investors when you are not actively raising funds. These meetings can be a distraction and prevent you from building momentum. While investors may benefit from early meetings by gaining insights into your business, the benefits for founders are often dubious.
