My one tweet on startup fundraising: 1. In this day and age it’s both the easiest and least important part of running a company. 2. The person joining your board matters 10x as much as the money. 3. The goal of every round should be to make it so you never have to raise again.

I talk to a lot of first-time, non-technical founders (mostly women) who don't have a shot at really building their business because they don't have the financial flexibility to either hire developers or dedicate full time. For them, #1 is a requirement to have a shot. It's hard

Yup, certainly harder in that instance. Running the company as a first time non technical founder will still be harder than raising.
