Hi, my name's Julie Walters and I have a question for the podcast.

My question is, how do you know when it's time to pitch to investors?

I've been watching Shark Tank forever and I have a startup that I've been working on

for a year and I'm just not sure when is the right time to pitch to investors, so that's

my question.

Julie, thanks for calling.

You may not know this, but 99% of all new businesses are bootstrapped by the entrepreneur

who founded it.

And they never go to investors for any cash.

So if you can do it alone, do it alone.

Slow and steady, self-funded growth is always the best way to go.

And you know what else?
