It's a very broad question without knowing what you are doing (market / problem / solution) and who is doing it (what expertise / skillset you have in the team). To say that you should have 5-10K in revenue would be wrong for a consumer app (like snapchat or frontback) but it would completely relevant if you were running a marketplace like etsy. What you do and how you do it matters. Showing up at a conference and pitch by-standers is most of the time not a good choice (especially if that's what everyone will be doing that). Investors take seriously founders who get to them via their network. If you approach Dave McClure at at a conference he might be polite to listen to what you have to say for 2 minutes but he has made it clear a number of times not to try to pitch him at events. Instead approach a founder who works with McClure, get his attention and convince him that what you do is awesome. Then ask him to intro you to McClure / in the meantime you would have also learned from such founder what are the minimum requirements to get any interest from McClure. Happy to provide more details.
