Questions from startups

What should a startup buy first?

A website, a CRM and invoicing. Everything else can wait until you have customers.

Is Framer better than Hostinger?

Framer suits design-led marketing sites; Hostinger suits low-cost sites and hosting. Either works.

Can AI write our pitch deck?

It can draft the structure. The story, numbers and ask must be yours.
