Why would they raise money otherwise? Not much point in raising +$500k if you plan to stay solo and coding at home.


You could hire lower-level dev staff, and you'll probably need some marketing and admin people, most of whom would be less expensive, and free more time up for a second round of fundraising (assuming that's a goal).
