VC Funding: Sweet Devil 😈? VCs throw money at you, but at what cost? 1. You started as a BIG BOSS now you’re an employee in your own company. 2. Investors get board seats due to which your plan and decision may not align with theirs. 3. VCs don’t like slow growth. They want 10x returns, ASAP 4. You want to build a legacy; they want a fat exit. Guess who wins? Not you 😭 5. Short-Term Focus: “Forget R&D, bro, just boost that valuation.” 6.You Miss a target? Get ready for investor emails that feel like personal attack 7. Flexibility: Pivot? Innovate? LOL, not unless the VCs approve. 8. IPO or acquisition in 5-7 years as per their demands. it comes with a major cost , remember that tho it's good for businesses. ask yourself - Are you ready to give up control? - Can you handle the pressure to grow and scale asap ? - Is your vision aligned with your investors’ goals? - Equity dilution? Yes? then go for it. No? be bootstrapped and work as per your interests.
