>> The second you raise a $3M seed round, you're on the roller coaster. You will need to show "hockey stick" growth in 12 months, and raise your A in 18. If not, you're dead.

Depends how much control you have, and how resourceful you are in a pinch. If you can figure out how to stay alive until you see a different way to do things without raising more money, then you're not dead. They key is being able to bunker down without investors being able to pull the plug on you... $3m could buy a lot of bunkering time for a small team.
