Fundraising Mistakes That Cost Founders Weeks - or the Whole Round Fundraising delays rarely come from investor feedback. They come from founder missteps. Here are the 3 mistakes I see again and again: 🔻 Chasing too many investors at once No prioritization = no focus. Pick 10-12 aligned targets and go deep. 🔻 Sending decks too early If your narrative isn’t crisp yet, all a deck does is confuse or dilute interest. 🔻 No follow-up rhythm Some founders go silent after sending. Others follow up every 48 hours. Neither works. Use a clean tracker. Follow up weekly. Fundraising is a system, not a one-shot ask. Sloppy process kills momentum - and investors can smell it.

I think Medial should come up video call and voice call feature as well , because it would be easy to discuss idea with founders rather then exchanging number .
