Every VC says โ€˜weโ€™re founder-firstโ€™ until they see a founder with no traction. Then suddenly itโ€™s all about numbers. Founder-market fit sounds great until the market is unfamiliar. If they donโ€™t get it, they ghost it. But the real flex is when you hear โ€œweโ€™re too lateโ€ and itโ€™s the same person who said โ€œtoo earlyโ€ six months ago. Thatโ€™s the full VC circle of life. They want to time the market, but founders create the market.
