If you're thinking about raising money, those are the best days in the year to be out there. So, you got three colors to be thinking about. The red is ultimately where it's going to be dead zones mainly is driven by, let's say, a holiday. Then you got the purple one, you know, which is essentially the optimal times where you're going to be raising money where you're actually outside of key events and key times in the year where perhaps, you know, there could be vacations or any type of holiday. And then you got the actual yellow ones which is a hit or miss which is actually going to be depending on when and how the investor is thinking about traveling.

new money ready to deploy, ready to get out there. And then also September right there, which is when they are coming back from their summer holiday. If you're looking to raise money, go to startupf funfundraising.com and supercharge your race with AI.
