Everyone talks about the raise. Very few talk about what hits after the wire lands. It’s not champagne.
It’s speed.
It’s pressure.
It’s silence. Suddenly the product you loved building.. turns into a number game. Suddenly you're building to justify the round - not the vision. And sometimes, the same VCs who promised “hands-on help” go hands-off. Know the truth: 
Capital is a catalyst. Not a cure. 
It won’t fix a broken product, a distracted team, or a foggy GTM. As a founder or operator, don’t just chase the raise. Chase alignment. Chase clarity. And chase partners who bring value on Day 91 - not just Day 1. Raising money is not a milestone.
It’s a responsibility with interest.
