Can we pause the program between funding rounds?
The term is a year, so a pause is a conversation rather than a button. Paid demand can be turned down inside the term; content keeps running, because search and AI visibility compound and restart slowly. Most startups keep Ground State running through a raise for that reason.
Pausing paid demand is cheap. Pausing content costs more than it saves, because search and AI visibility compound and restart slowly. Most startups keep Ground State running through a raise.
