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.

this feels like the post every seed founder should read before fundraising. the “day 91 vs day 1” line hit hard, so many VCs bring heat during the pitch but ghost when it’s time to build the actual company.

so real. the dopamine from “we closed the round” fades FAST. and suddenly you’re in sprint mode, trying to hit metrics you may not even believe in. it’s wild how quickly the energy shifts from creation to justification.

If your startup can’t survive without funding, It’s not a startup. It’s a PowerPoint presentation. Don’t chase investors. Chase profitability, positioning, and product-market fit. That’s real entrepreneurship. #Vision2030 #ChakorOne

A simple thing I advise early-stage founders on: —> Stage —> Strategy —> Source 1) Stage - What stage are you really at? Idea, MVP, early traction, PMF? 2) Strategy - Do you need capital to survive or to scale? Different answers, different risks.

You didn’t spend all day working. You spent all day winning. Your AI handled updates. Your system shipped progress. You just focused on what moves the needle. Suddenly you're like: This isn’t work. It’s momentum. That’s Codestam.
