Unpopular Opinion: If you have zero traction, don’t pitch VCs yet.
You know what I see too often?
Founders sending decks before they’ve even tested the idea.
Here’s the blunt truth:
💡 VCs don’t fund ideas. They fund signals.
And “signal” doesn’t
What VCs say vs What they mean:
1) “Come back after traction” = We want proof without risk.
2) “We love the team” = The idea is meh, but you seem cool.
3) “Let’s stay in touch” = Probably never gonna happen unless you blow up.
