Almost always, having one major investor with a lot of skin in the game is better
than a “party round” with lots of people in for a small amount. When the company
needs help with a “party round” no one has enough at stake to do real work to help.
Conversely, when a single investor has real money at stake, then they have real
upside to help the company grow, and real money at risk if the company is in
trouble, so will be there when help is needed.
