When raising money in Silicon Valley, investors know that you are not an expert in every aspect of your business, so instead, you must surround yourself with the people and tools needed to succeed. Growing your business at a rapid pace is what investors expect and this requires hiring the best people and getting creative with some of the newest technologies available.
