Bengaluru CEO Compares Startup Funding to Dating After $3M Investment A viral post by Sumanth Raghavendra, CEO of Presentations.ai, compared startup funding to dating, saying VCs ignore struggling startups but rush in once they thrive. "When you're desperate, no one's interested. When you're thriving, everyone's in love," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Presentations.ai recently secured $3 million in seed funding from Accel after gaining millions of users. Raghavendra’s post resonated widely, sparking discussions on venture funding's unpredictability. Users shared insights, with some advising founders to bootstrap instead of chasing VCs. Others humorously likened the experience to dating apps, where rejection turns into sudden popularity.
