Save Up To $1 Million With These Goodies

Resources are the lifeblood of a startup. As a founder, you need to figure out product-market fit before your money runs out.

The common ways most founders do to get monetary resources is either by raising funds or by crowdfunding. If you have done any of this, you will know that both ways take up a lot of time away from building your product.

Not only that, there’s no guarantee that your efforts will get results. So what can entrepreneurs do?
