Hah. Had this exact experience not long before we raised $1.1m (half through PM).
“I did actually initially try and go to Snowball,” Will told me. “They were like, ‘Oh no, I don’t think you’re going to be able to get that valuation. And it’s really not a good time to raise, you should come back in a year and a half.’ And then I spoke to Anna from PledgeMe, and she’s just full of energy. She was like, ‘I reckon you can do it. This is a great story, and you’re in a great position and everything.’”
I was thinking about how you might read this the whole time. I didn't expect this dual experience! Perhaps there's more of a learning opportunity for Snowball here than expected.
