Everyone talks about the raise. Very few talk about what hits after the wire lands. Itโ€™s not champagne.โ€จItโ€™s speed.โ€จItโ€™s pressure.โ€จItโ€™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 โ€œhands-on helpโ€ go hands-off. Know the truth: โ€จCapital is a catalyst. Not a cure. โ€จIt wonโ€™t fix a broken product, a distracted team, or a foggy GTM. As a founder or operator, donโ€™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.โ€จItโ€™s a responsibility with interest.

Canโ€™t believe that someone spent a year on my app and enjoyed every bit of it. Itโ€™s not the money you raise or anything else that can give you such belief in your product or keep you going, itโ€™s always user love.
