What are the hidden costs of raising capital? 

A capital raise can be a double-edged sword. While it provides funding, the opportunity cost in terms of time, resources, and potential revenue can be substantial. Early-stage companies must carefully weigh the pros and cons before embarking on a fundraising journey themselves, understanding that the true cost often lies beyond the financial aspect.
