Venture Capital Focu...ย โ€ขย 1m

Ever wondered why some founders attract investors easily while others struggle? Itโ€™s because of something called Founder-Market Fit. If someone tells you theyโ€™ll become the next Virat Kohli but theyโ€™ve never played serious cricket before, would you believe them? Probably not. But if a Ranji Trophy player says, โ€œI want to play for India,โ€ you take them seriously because they already have the skills, experience, and track record. Startup Funding works same way. Founder-Market Fit means the founder is the right person to build that startup. Maybe theyโ€™ve worked in that particular industry for years, maybe theyโ€™ve faced that problem firsthand, or maybe they have some unfair advantage in that industry that makes them 10x more likely to succeed than anyone else. If you donโ€™t have a Founder-Market Fit yet, it doesnโ€™t mean you should give up. It just means you need to gain experience, build expertise. Because in startups, being right person matters just as much as having right idea.
