Hey I am on Medial • 5m

You have a completely backward understanding of what VCs and accelerators actually do. Their JOB is to be skeptical. If they funded every idea that came their way, they'd go bankrupt. Early-stage investing isn't about "nurturing ideas" - it's about making calculated bets on teams and markets. And yes, traction reduces risk. Why is that surprising? I've worked at two VC firms, and the harsh reality is that 95% of idea-stage startups fail regardless of funding. The slow response times are because you're not a priority - harsh but true.

Funding is not everything, kids. Reason why traditional business models work is b/c they're tried and tested. Don't bank your lives on bets that "might work out" which'll benefit someone else the most. Strong fundamentals always win.
