Focus on your mission. Remember VCs = dilution*. Ultimately it's all about WHY you are building your business. As for myself, what I'd really want, is to be approached by a potential acquirer. Are you and your co-founders aligned as to why you are building the business? Do you have a proper exit strategy? I've gone through two successful exits (bootstrapped) that made my dreams come true. If you would like to know why you should have an exit strategy, happy to take your call. An exit strategy is the greatest value driver for a startup, a strategic exit is the greatest value creator for entrepreneurs. *http://RMentrepreneur.fyi.to/Dilution
