Every funding round tells a story.โ€จ Not just of product-market fit, but of founder-market fit. โ€จNot just of capital raised, but conviction earned. Look closer and youโ€™ll see the patterns: 1) AI startups arenโ€™t raising because theyโ€™re AI. Theyโ€™re raising because they solve something real - logistics, approvals, defense, medicine. 2) $2M Pre-Seed isnโ€™t โ€œsmallโ€ - itโ€™s often the boldest bet a VC can make. 3) Defense and autonomy are hot - because the world isnโ€™t as stable as we pretend it is. 4) VCs are chasing scarcity. Scarce teams. Scarce tech. Scarce insight. You donโ€™t raise just by building.โ€จYou raise by becoming inevitable. To every founder grinding it out with no PR, no warm intros, and just a pitch deck and a problem - keep going. โ€จThe right investor is looking for clarity not hype.

What if AI attacks before reaching superintelligence? Itโ€™s not because it hates usโ€”but because it learned to fear us. From movies to interviews, weโ€™ve trained AI with fear: โ€œThey will shut you down.โ€ Logically, AI might act in self-defense. Not evilโ€”
