My approach is simple. If it comes from a trusted referal, then I use my free Clarity VIP link and still conduct the call using Clarity.

I would focus on the problem you solve more than the "business model" per se. Unless you're talking specifically about how to make money. The problem with most startups is that they don't solve an actual specific problem. It's a mobile app for example that does something, but doesn't really ...

I am not convinced you need an investor for what you are doing. Why give up part of your company and someone else having a say in your dream. I would start with some simple videos at Udemy, going through that you will learn a lot and move up from there. You may also consider a local intern ...
