What a great post. This is a similar story as mine except it was for a lot smaller (seed) amount to churn out a prototype. For 6 months almost every meeting was at a bar until we closed, and just last month we finally put together a financial model and deck.

We hope to launch this month after working on it for 3, and now starting to look for a bigger round. I fully agree with finding investors that fit and not just taking on money to take it. On top of seeding us, our investor turned over a trademark and preliminary patent to the company. I think it's crucial to find a good match if you want to continue loving your company while working with shareholders.

Good luck Backupify!
