If your business is performing well, forget fundraising. Hereโ€™s the thing: Venture Capital is not looking for good to great companies. They're looking for outliers. We're talking: โ†’ 100xโ€“1000x potential โ†’ Category creators โ†’ Can this become a monopoly? If your company is: doing well, growing steadily, and has strong fundamentals Thatโ€™s a red flag for most VCs. Because they donโ€™t back steady, they back explosive. Hereโ€™s how I break it down for founders: โ†’ Doing $500K ARR and growing 20% YoY? Youโ€™re a solid business, not a VC-backed rocket ship. โ†’ Have great margins, brand love, and cash flow? You might be better off bootstrapped, or with strategic capital, not VC. โ†’ Your product is built for 10,000 customers, not 10 million? Thatโ€™s not a scale play. Thatโ€™s a niche win. VCs ask one brutal question: โ†’ Can this company return our entire fund? Thatโ€™s billions, not millions. So if youโ€™re profitable, growing, and in control maybe the best move is not raising. Fundraising is not validation. Itโ€™s fuel. (but only if youโ€™re building a rocket)

A lot of founders think funding = validation, but thatโ€™s just step one. If you canโ€™t turn that capital into real, sustainable growth, itโ€™s just a countdown to running out of cash. Just because a startup raises VC money doesnโ€™t mean itโ€™s successful. V
