Product First, Pitch Second

How can you worry about investors when you don't even have anything to show them? It seems most people (from my observation) do it this way..

1. get a demo done 2. raise money 3. continue working

Sometimes one of the co-founders may continue working during the raising money stage, but for the most part raising money seems to consume most of the company's time during that stage. Everything seems to happen more sequentially than concurrently.
