Most early-stage founders donโ€™t need a VC. They need this. You actually need 100 users whoโ€™d scream if your product disappeared. So for all idea-stage founders: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Validate the pain first. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Then validate your insight. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Then test your way to 10 users who say โ€œShut up and take my money.โ€ Thatโ€™s your real funding round - paid with belief, not equity. Only after that do you need a VC. Most of the time? Youโ€™re fundraising to feel legit. Build signal. Then raise. Not the other way around.
