Because it shows investors that not only are you thinking creatively about your go-to-market strategy, but you’ve already gained some traction. Even if the numbers aren’t great, demonstrating that you can move quickly and experiment with different tactics gives investors a reason to believe in your team. They want to see that you’re making progress and if you’re capable of building the tech, especially if your product is complicated software.
