Many people that I meet totally underestimate the time that this will take.
The reality is that 12 to 18 months is not unusual.
Yes, you will hear stories of start-ups that got funded in a matter of days or even hours; what they don't tell you is that it takes
12 to 18 months to become an overnight success!
