To all Entrepreneurs especially in the idea stage : "Hey, I’ve got a great idea but need cash to make it happen!" utter nonsense Pro tip: Don't. That screams "I haven’t tried anything yet." Try this instead: "We ran some scrappy tests, got decent results, cobbled together a product. Now we need money to streamline and scale." See the difference? Investors want to imagine what you can do with capital, not just hear you beg for it. Show hustle, not neediness. Also, I’m tired of hearing, "We don’t have money to bring this idea to life." Really? You’ve got free tools everywhere—run WhatsApp groups, use GPT credits, sell on Instagram, pop up a stall, talk to strangers. Hack your way there! Here’s the simple formula: Did you try building anything? Do you actually know why you want to build this? Have you followed anything through? Second-time founders get funded because they’ve already done this. First-time founders? You can do it too. It’s supposed to be fun, not a pity party!
