In the ‘Evaluating Startups’ session of the LetsVenture Angel Investing Masterclass, Hari shares his insights on cash burn and goes on to talk about finding exits as an angel. He mentions that a good rapport between founders and angels can lead to quick fundraises and even exits. “If the idea is compelling and your product is creating a new market, don’t worry about cash burn. It might take 5 to 7 years for achieving the total addressable market,” says Hari in the session.
