Market research and it's no

Very few niche VCs/Angels fund you in idea stage, without a pedigree.

If you can show early interest or demand (e.g., waitlists, user signups), that’s as good as numbers to some investors. For instance, Clubhouse raised funds based on hype alone

At the early stage, your vision, passion, and team matter more than numbers

no number or data means you haven't done anything, go and do something before you bring your thoughts else your idea will become someone else company

Startups like SpaceX and Tesla raised early funds by selling an ambitious vision, not immediate metrics. If you can pitch a story investors believe in, you're good to go.

Focus on solving a real problem because if your solution resonates deeply, investors will believe in you, even without fancy metrics

Leverage your network like personal connections, mentors, or industry leaders can open doors even when you don’t have hard data to show
