Share your best tip to a startup entrepreneur.

Do not work completely alone. Create a team with one or more companions where you can complement and support each other. Dare to try the idea - change and develop. Preferably in collaboration with potential future customers. And seek out an environment where there is support and competence, such as Yunctures incubator or other networks.

What is the first thing you look at during an investment pitch?
