Busting Startup Fundraising Myths: Why You Can Raise Money and Build Your Dream Company (Part 3) ⛔️ Myth: Raising money means losing control оf your company. ✔️ Reality: Seed rounds today give founders more control than ever, as SAFEs don’t require giving up board seats оr shareholder rights. ⛔️ Myth: You need a fancy network tо raise money. ✔️ Reality: If you’re making something people want, investors will care more about your traction than your background оr connections. ⛔️ Myth: If investors reject your startup, іt means it’s a bad idea. ✔️ Reality: Even great companies face rejection from investors. Focus оn convincing yourself that you’re building something valuable, and keep pushing forward.
