WAIT !!! Today we gonna talk about myth & Realities of Fund raising - Myths vs. Realities: • Myth: Fundraising is about fancy pitches Reality: It's a grind of one-on-one meetings and casual conversations • Myth: You need to raise money before starting Reality: Build a prototype, get early users first, then raise money • Myth: Your startup needs to be impressive upfront Reality: Focus on making something people want and showing growth potential • Myth: Raising money is complicated and expensive Reality: Tools like SAFE allow quick, cheap seed rounds • Myth: Raising money means losing control Reality: Seed rounds via SAFEs let founders maintain control • Myth: You need connections to raise money Reality: Investors care more about traction than your network • Myth: Investor rejection means your idea is bad Reality: Even great startups face rejection, keep pushing forward

Neatly put! PMF & early traction should be the main focus for every founder even before deciding to fundraise. Until you have this, you are either going to dilute away too much or ask for the wrong amount.
