Golden Nugget for Entrepreneurs In my POV, loans are ideal for early-stage businesses to build progress before pitching to VC, but remember, loans come with risk: • Loans help you establish your business, manage cash flow, and achieve short-term growth, but they involve fixed repayments and financial pressure. • VCs typically want to see progress as a proven model, traction, and long-term growth potential before investing. Don’t pitch with just an idea 90% of idea pitches get rejected. Your idea investment acceptance rate is just only 10% without progress! With a strong track record built through loans, you can easily attract VC with a compelling case for scalable, long-term growth. Remember: • Loans: Boost short-term growth and progress, but carry risk and repayment pressure. • VC: Want to see results before investing but provide guidance and risk-sharing for scaling. Disclaimer: Just my POV. Choose the path that suits your business growth strategy.
