(I apologise if my questions are basic)
When people receive seed funding for their start-up, do they generally quit their day job immediately? If I were in the fortunate position of receiving seed funding, I would prefer to hold on to my day job and work all other available hours on the project until perhaps the next round of funding. The benefit to the investors is myself and the other founders would not require any form of salary, not even the standard $50k.

Has anyone received seed funding before and remained at their day job?

Thank you, Maria
