Early Traction, Big Questions: Mentor & Investor Advice Needed

Before even building the MVP for my startup HomeCareLiveIn, I’ve been fortunate to receive strong validation from the startup community. I advanced to second-round interviews with MuckerLab, Antler NYC, Techstars Rising Stars, and Chisos Capital, and I was accepted into the Founder Institute accelerator program. Recently, I was also accepted as a StartOut Founder and joined their Access to Capital Program.

Despite this traction, I’m still struggling to find the right mentors—people with experience in marketplace operations, or early-stage scaling who can provide guidance as I navigate these early steps.

I’d also appreciate insight from investors and seasoned founders:

 👉 Am I approaching fundraising too early?
 👉 Or should I continue developing the business and product before formally seeking investment?

If you have advice, mentorship capacity, or simply thoughts based on your experience, I’d be grateful to hear from you. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share guidance or make introductions. 🙏
