The game has changed! There was a time when investors used to take big risks on just an idea. They believed in the vision, backed early-stage startups, and took chances. But today? Things are different. Investors have become more cautious. They want proven traction, revenue, and a safety net before investing. In many cases, startups take all the risks—bootstrapping, scaling, and proving the market—while investors come in when things are already stable. It seems like startups are now the bigger risk-takers, not investors. What do you think? Has the startup ecosystem truly changed?
