With god's grace, raised 3 lakh from friend. Money deposited, he is added as a shareholder as well. Can this be considered as an Angel Investment from VC perspective ? Will it help me in raising further capital ? VCs here and people who have raised money pls guide. Others can also comment. 🙏

This is a simple pre seed or seed round from friends and family, it has no relevance to VCs because of course your friends and family will give money to you based on trust etc. People who don't know you, giving money away knowing full well they might never see it again let alone profits on it is called angel investing. Build something, sell enough, show proof of your thing working and the need for capital based on disproportionate growth potential fueled by extra capital and if the market is big enough and VCs are greedy enough, you might get funded.

It's called FFF Round where it is called Friends, Family & Fools Round.( Don't take it the wrong way, The name itself is called) Technically, this cannot be considered as a Pre-Seed/Seed from Investors Perspective. But the operations whichever you do with the funds is considered as more important in investors eye. Because they can rely on your past fundraising round on how the best you utilised the fund & gave them progress This will definitely help you further. So Use the best of your efforts in using these funds properly

How is it possible that founders who have raised money from VCs and those were not able to raise - both dislike them!

A very uncommon perspective:- Innovation is like gods work, that is built using intuition to really change something. Unlike 'dhanda', where all you think is about is doing general shit and seeing money as the ultimate end, Not a big fan.
