How to get rejected instantly by Investors in 3 Ways: ❌ 1. The Timing Mistake: Chicken-Egg Problem Most founders: "I need money to start building" Smart founders: Build first, raise later = Progress beats promises 2. The Glamour Trap: Fancy Shows You think: Shark Tank pitches and fancy presentations Reality: 160+ coffee chats over 4 months Truth: It's a grinding series of 1:1 conversations = No magic words, just hard work 3. What Actually Works: Reality!! ✓ Build something tiny that works ✓ Get real users (even just a few) ✓ Show clear value creation ✓ Explain the 1% chance it gets huge I instantly reject these founders who come with these lines: "I have an Idea, Done a lot of research & I just need funding to start" Man, Every person who has a brain will have an Idea. There is nothing special about this. Do the Work first before you want to be in the so-called Shark Tank. Build something useful & reach out, Don't reach out to build something useful🤝🙏
