Questions

With government programs and founders bootstrapping, we are pretty sustainable and only need a short term bridge loan to get us through the year. We are however, looking to raise seed money to help us accelerate growth. A VC that we are in discussions with stated they do a minimum of $400,000 in seed round. Our cashflow projection does not require that amount of money at this point, even in the worst case scenario. Should we do a smaller deal instead of going for that round, which would dilute us significantly at this stage of our startup. Or should we raise enough money for the next 2 years?

How will the money you obtain be "paid" back, do you want to make the payment in that way and can you afford to make the "payment" are the questions you should address to see if you are raising too much money from the wrong sources.
