We cannot make it more clear. Dont waste your time chasing investors. Ive seen it time and time again. Ive been backed by Techstars (a top VC), sold a business and have worked in finance prior to that. Chasing investors will not help you, nor your company. Unless you are a seasoned entrepreneur who can raise a seed round its a waste of time to be chasing investors.

## BUILD BUILD FIRST

Just build until you have your first customers either paying or not paying. Investors will then come to you. 

## Join an accelerator

Joining an accelerator may help you with this in some way. There are some that are pre seed like [Antler](https://www.founderbounty.com/is-antler-worth-doing/) (see the article we wrote on them [here](https://www.founderbounty.com/is-antler-worth-doing/)) but generally the further along you are in building your business the more chance you have of getting investment!
