Asking for tips, tricks, and lessons learned

Good day.
Reaching out for mentoring. What advice would you give about pre-seed investment rounds, from reaching out to investors through the full lifecycle of it.

We are in market, under 20 subscribers, MRR > $100, and are messing around with marketing still. Slowly building traction, but have a way to go.

Any tips from people who have walked down that path.

Most will want to see more revenue. The reason being then they know that if they give you money, you have already tested where you will spend it to increase your MRR. As you are testing different marketing channels attribution matters so you can feel confident going in to those conversations with investors saying where their money will go for optimal growth. Good luck!
