How will you define your work in 5 words?

I'll go first. "Creating content that adds value."

You just raised your seed round. What should be your main priority for the next 3 months?

Assuming you already have an MVP... They threw a pile of cash at you and your quest is to spend it smart. Some of it will go to distribution, but not much before there's a clear PMF. So most of it is going into the product. That means people. But when you hire your first few employees you want them to be the best for the job. And that can take months... So what do you in the awkward period between getting all that money and completing your dream team?
