So my simple advice is to start PR as early as possible (and certainly earlier than most of your investors will advise) when you have your head around your product plans and are well into execution (or ready to launch) precisely because your recruiting, seed funding and initial user base may depend on it. I see too many people who do that.

I’m not going to meet with founders or have phone calls with them. That takes time.
