Ownership(@ownershipfm):Jurassic Finance CEO Sora on the Deaton raise: $300K in 2 hours, a 2-week stall at $400K, then a mystery investor dropping $150K at the last minute. 8bit: "How did the process go? Were there any challenges or obstacles along the way? And most importantly, what did you learn from this for future raises?" Sora: "We definitely didn't plan the exact timeline of how much funding is going into it. So that's why we put it at a really long time, 30 days, which we thought was more than enough, and turns out it is." "In the first 2 hours, it got over $300,000, and then we were so excited. We thought this is going to finish in the next hour. Then we kind of entered a stalemate around $400,000, where it stayed there for around 10 to 15 days." "In the last week, we just started having a bunch of calls, hitting up non-Web3 people who were big into dinosaurs, big into collecting natural history items. And magically, it filled with some of the people we know and a mysterious guy who put $150,000 into it in the last minute." 8bit: "What does that tell you, that somebody put in $150K like that? That's kind of mind-boggling." Sora: "That shows that people trust us enough, and they like dinosaurs enough, to just deploy $150K into some random company who has 7,000 followers on Twitter."
