Learning notes from this episode:

 

• For fundraising, knowing how to grow a community and stay resilient them is vital. Pree believes her political campaigning days, when she had to literally knock on doors and had them shut in her face, gave her the skills she needed. 
• Pree suggests that aspiring founders work at another start-up before they found their own. This is a good way to learn about start-ups in a less risky way. I did this, and am very glad.
• Outsourcing technology and design is a good option, especially when you are bootstrapping. Do not get put off by investors who insist you hire tech teams in house from the start.
