It can be. Building Medial was about getting the right tech talent not funding. My co-founders and I were committed even when we didn’t have any funding. Funding can help you with developing things faster but end of the day it is about the co-founders. Eventually funding can accelerate things in terms of user acquisition but not with the tech itself tbh. I know people who raised a lot of money but couldn’t build a good platform because tech talent is hard to find even if you can pay a lot.

Do I absolutely need to be a techie to start a tech startup? I have co-founders who are techies but I’m the CEO and the burden of fundraising is on me. Hearing from a lot of folks that VC’s will see me from a negative eye.
