Unpopular Opinion: If you have zero traction, don’t pitch VCs yet. You know what I see too often? Founders sending decks before they’ve even tested the idea.

It could be: - 100 waitlist signups in 7 days - 5 cold DMs turning into demo calls - Users coming back without reminders or something else That’s traction. That’s momentum. So if you're at zero, stop pitching. Start validating. Should I do a post breaking down traction levels VCs actually look for? Drop a “Yes” in the comments.

“Just because you feel like sht doesn’t mean you have to act like sht.” I read that somewhere years ago, and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. It’s what I tell myself on the days I don’t feel like showing up. See, people romanticize this whole
