Talk About Funding, Keep the Development Pace in the Team’s Hands
Background: A VC has reached out, but the studio is still refining its prototype, with card balance and the NFT issuance chain undecided. Today: The meeting set the direction: funding can be discussed, but money must not dictate the pace. Impact and next steps: The principle placed the outside opportunity from the previous day within the bounds of discussion while keeping internal work under the team’s control.

Background: A VC has reached out, but the studio is still refining its prototype, with card balance and the NFT issuance chain undecided. The question at this meeting is not whether to acknowledge funding, but how to engage with outside resources without letting financing plans set the order of development work.
Today: The meeting set the direction: funding can be discussed, but money must not dictate the pace. The team was open to talking with potential funders while making clear that it would schedule the project’s work by its own judgment. An invitation did not automatically become a financing outcome, and it could not replace the current work on balance and issuance.
Impact and next steps: The principle placed the outside opportunity from the previous day within the bounds of discussion while keeping internal work under the team’s control. Talks can proceed, but the team needs to protect development priorities and continue resolving card balance and NFT chain choice. Whether to raise funds, and when, remains undecided.
