Foundation • 6h

You will build a fundable startup by methodically decreasing risk at each stage, rather than chasing the next round If you want to raise capital, do these at each stage: 1. Pre-Seed: Focus on developing your MVP and proving technical feasibility 2. Seed: Refine MVP based on initial user feedback. Validate product-market fit and establish early traction 3. Series A: Implement a scalable go-to-market strategy and grow your customer base 4. Series B: Expand your addressable market and optimize operations Plan your funding journey. Focusing on MVP and PMF creates a strong foundation for growth More tips: 1. Planning and execution needs initial capital, prepare it as a starting note, and reach a specific goal before you raise your next round 2. Focusing on building a strong foundation is key 3. Interview 50 customers before you have a product and confirm buyer intent and need 4. Dont build anything until you validate your ideas with customers Share your thoughts on this

Aah interesting. Making investment risk free instead of chasing investors but then if we could make investment risk free, why would we need investor money, the sales would generate enough money right?
