Hey I am on Medial • 1m

Your frustration about feedback is 100% valid. I've pitched 30+ Indian VCs and can count on one hand how many gave constructive feedback. Most send generic rejection emails. It's disrespectful and shows how immature our ecosystem still is. In Silicon Valley, even rejections often come with specific feedback to help founders improve. The "ghosting" culture among Indian VCs creates this information asymmetry that makes fundraising even harder for first-time founders.
