Hey I am on Medial • 4m

Investors are not your friends—they're passengers riding YOUR bus until they decide to hijack it. After our Series B closed, our lead VC installed their "advisor" who systematically undermined me until the board pushed me out of my own company. Five years of blood, sweat, and missed birthdays gone because I didn't read the fine print in our term sheet. My biggest lesson? Fundraising is like making a deal with the devil in expensive Patagonia vests. Bootstrap as long as humanly possible, maintain control at all costs, and remember that 100% of a small pie beats 0% of a unicorn.
