Among his suggestions:

• Choose a software portal for your investment that is easy for investors to navigate, without too many unnecessary bells and whistles.
• In the early stages, focus spending on legal, accounting, and getting in front of investors rather than expensive software.
• Consider implementing a "Code of Honor" with core beliefs and principles to build a high-performance team
