How We Closed Our Pre-Seed Round in 2 Weeks

The text discusses strategies for raising a pre-seed round and shares personal experiences of the author's company, which got accepted into YC in December 2019. Key levers to motivate investors include networking with mafias (communities from a company or institution), leveraging FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) by creating urgency, having a great fundraising story, being fair to potential investors, and building momentum once initial investments are made. The author's company successfully closed its pre-seed round in two weeks by following these strategies.
