Join the conversation as Ali dishes on the hurdles of dodging the "staffing agency" label and convincing investors that Micro One is the real deal. Ali emphasizes the importance of building momentum in a capital raise, engaging with investors, dealing with rejection like a pro, and even spicing things up with public exposure and leveraging social media.
