A third user, the founder of Stealth Startup, Pradipta D commented: “You need to keep your personal and professional lives separate 😁 but has any girl showed interest in funding your venture? One quick way to check is if she is showing any interest in splitting the bill first. Pitch only if your date wants to split the bill. 😁”
Meanwhile, a fourth user named highlighted: “I guess a visionary founder will always end up talking about his plans, goals, strategy etc, because they are passionate about it, there is no harm about it, you'll always find people around who carry similar energy like you, wait till you find that and then pitch them, till then make your project an investor s friendly project, and it's not easy to differentiate the personal life and professional life always after all the professional life becomes a priority for a founder and co-founder by default, so it's better to show that inclination beforehand before committing anything 😊”
