Comment on Ask HN: Is it possible to raise money without a working prototype?

Comments

From experience, my rule of thumb is to select projects that takes around one month to finish (give or take).

Any longer project will be a challenge to finish because you'll lose motivation (for various reasons).

Launching quickly will give you a lot of insight on whether you are on the right track or not. And if you are, this will motivate you to start improving what you have built and probably rewrite it sometime later.

Shrink your idea.
