Before you take on growth capital:
1: Is there a committed fund or are they deal-by-deal?
2: Do their operating partners bring domain expertise?
3: What’s their track record?
4: Is there cultural alignment?
5: Can you articulate what you’d do with the capital in year one?
Founders can be ready to sell for completely different reasons.
#1: Needed more talent + capital to reach the next level
#2: Met a fellow entrepreneur where 1+1=3
#3: Was ready to explore something new
