Alex Bouaziz, CEO of Deel, believes that founders should be cautious about raising too much money. Bouaziz sees fundraising as a process of founders selling off parts of their company to investors who want to buy, and stresses that your company is too valuable to sell off with too much dilution. In this episode, Bouaziz also discusses how the company transformed its presentation through rounds of iteration between fundraises, and why Andreessen Horowitz was ultimately the right match for Deel.
