Thanks ig1. I was initially looking into crunchbase but upon further research, it seemed like Pitchbook was a lot more accurate. Do you have an opinion on Crunchbase? Is it that bad, or just not as good as pitchbook but worth it still?

That's a great idea. Practicing our pitch will be important - our instint is to go to only those that are promising but perhaps we should run through before being face to face with our #1 choice.

One thing I forgot to mention - and this could be completely wrong thinking, but we're tring not to scorch the earth and hit up every VC possible. Our "great idea" - we are sensitive to getting to market as quickly as possible and are somewhat concerned a VC may take the idea and try and implement with an existing portfolio company. Perahps a paranoid concern and it may be unrealistic to expect to keep things secret while attracting a great investor - any thoughts on that would be appreciated as well.

Great point. Hadn't thought of the accelerators like that - we're fortunate to have our first employees willing to work without needing much cash and we can self-fund for awhile, so we didn't think accelerators were necessary.

realize a potential war is bigger than business, but anyone else using designers in Ukraine? The ones I've been working with don't seem that concerned but I'LL be concerned if I suddenly stop hearing from them.
