Hey, I'm on Medial • 1y

FUNDRAISING DYNAMICS Two key factors play a major role in early-stage fundraising: founder pedigree and traction. ➡️ Founder pedigree becomes especially important when you’re just starting out with an idea on paper. Investors look at your background to assess whether you can deliver. This includes factors like previous startup experience, education from top universities, or key roles at successful companies. While it may not always seem fair, it’s a reality of the startup ecosystem. ➡️ However, traction can level the playing field. As you move from an idea to a live product with real user demand, your ability to raise funds increases significantly. A founder with less pedigree but strong product traction can often raise more than someone with an impressive background but only an idea. Leveling-up Tips: 🔹Building in hot sectors like AI or climate tech can give you an edge, but avoid oversaturated markets. 🔹Endorsements from respected figures in startups can boost your credibility
