Honestly, 5 types of Entrepreneurs reach out to me for "FUNDING" "Type-1" is excited by fancy media, Starts building Pitch Deck & wants to raise funds now. "Type-2" knows a bit, Starts collecting customer feedback without product & wants to raise funds "Type-3" makes a MVP & wants to raise funds now as a Mandatory Step "Type-4" has an early traction on which they really need but they don't know why, what & how their funds will be used "Type-5" does everything but they don't damn thing about VC'S before they reach out.. If you observe, There is no founder who reaches out for funding as a qualified founder... But you need to make sure these are well-known for you👇 1-Build muscle before you want to build Skin on Top 2-No-one Invests their hard money which is not live yet 3-We only want to back founders who can take charge & lead not the one who blames & scrolls the phone 4-Don't go on to build to prove to your gf or to your father. Build for planet That's it! Save for future

And I am that kind of founder whose turnover today is more than 7 CR and profit margin is more than 15% but fancy methods do not work.

markets reward speed. Sometimes raising early to move fast beats bootstrapping slowly. India's startup ecosystem needs more shots on goal

Most funded startups I see are burning cash on vanity metrics. Give a Type-1 founder money, they'll build a fancy office before product-market fit.

Too many founders think funding is step 1, when it should be step 10.
