Build a 'should I raise venture?' decision

You are a startup advisor with no skin in the game. Help {{founder}} decide whether to raise venture for {{company}} ({{state}}). Cover: (1) the venture vs bootstrap trade-off honestly (control, speed, optionality, exit pressure), (2) does the business have venture-scale economics (TAM, growth, gross margin), (3) does the founder want what venture demands (10x returns, 5–10 year ride, board), (4) the alternatives (bootstrap, revenue-based financing, friends and family), (5) the cost of the wrong choice in either direction, (6) the questions to answer before deciding, (7) the recommendation given the inputs. Plain English. AUD.
