Hey everyone,

I'll keep this brief. Like I mentioned in the title, I'd love to hear from people who have real, hands-on experience dealing with investors, and I’d also love to get some insight from investors themselves.

In your opinion, when should someone actually start looking for an investor? Is it as soon as you have the business plan, the foundation, and the strategy ready—especially if the project needs substantial upfront capital?

Or is it after you’ve hit some initial milestones that help prove the project’s viability and profitability?

To be honest, I'm a bit torn. I have some modest experience building businesses from scratch, and I’ve always valued bootstrapping with minimal funds, relying on solid agreements between everyone involved.

Because of that, I’m not the type to chase after investors just to get cash for rosy ideas and dreams sketched out on unrealistic plans.

So, I wanted to know: is my mindset wrong here? Or do you actually need an investor only for specific types of projects?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone. Like I said in the title, I've wanted to try a dopamine detox for a long time now and try to cut back on my constant social media use, but I just can't do it since my job is entirely tied to social media.

Because of that, I wanted to get your thoughts and hear from people who might have tried this while actually working in social media?

Thanks in advance for any valuable advice!
