- When you’re investing this early, it’s pretty high risk. The basic idea is don’t invest money that you wouldn’t mind losing. Do basic diligence to make sure the startup is legitimate. The rest is really dependent on the company and personal preference.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Nikitha. This was helpful. I have a few follow-up questions:
- Did you go through some best practices, dos and don'ts, and when and how much to invest?
- There are YC SAFE notes that most early-stage startups offer in the Bay Area. Do you see a similar pattern?
We could take this conversation over LinkedIn message or email.
Sure, thanks for reading!
