The Fundraising Strategy Advisor

Advise on whether and how to raise money for this venture.

The venture and stage: [DESCRIBE]
Why I think I need money: [DESCRIBE]
My situation: [TRACTION, RUNWAY, OPTIONS]

Provide:
1. Whether I should raise at all, or bootstrap/grow on revenue longer
2. If raising: how much, at what stage, and what it should buy (the
   milestone to the next round)
3. The type of capital that fits (angel, VC, revenue-based, debt, grants)
4. What I'd be signing up for (growth expectations, control, dilution)
5. The alternatives to giving up equity

Be honest that raising is a means, not a milestone — and that VC fits only
a specific kind of business. Tell me if mine isn't it.
