Great post. Not all money is good money – but desperate entrepreneurs don’t always see it this way.

Another point is your exit strategy. If you don’t know what it is, you can make the wrong decision. Certain exit strategies get closed off when you go with investment from a strategic investors, including buy out from competitive strategic buyers. Know what makes sense before doing so.

And if you do go forward, ask yourself “who would care more if things stall?” Things sometimes stall, and you need to double-up to move it forward. Would the strategic investor be incentivized to do so, or just let it die a slow death (and you along with it).
