Hey I am on Medial • 1y

The harsh truth is that raising funds is hard. It has become a fashion to make fun of founders who raise money but to be honest they are really skilled. Obviously there will be bad fishes in a pond but if it was so easy everyone would end up raising money. Everyone wants to but not all can so these jealous people end up making fun or critic founders who raise. We should try to learn how things work instead of hating on Unicorn founders.
