The Truth About "Hot" Startup Deals (And Why Most of Them Lose Money) Have you noticed those different hot buzz startups raising a couple of millions only from the rich, not professional VCs? Let me break down the real working of the startup investment: The Smart Money 3-Tier System: ⤷ Top Tier: VCs and smart funds invest only when they see a real potential while risking their skin in it. ⤷ Middle Tier: Family offices pull in their money, convincing them to do so with glamour presentations and charm offensive. ⤷ Bottom Tier: You get access to once the smart folks say no. What They Never Tell You: - The platforms earn huge commissions (2-5%) for just selling you the deal. - The VCs only make money on funds when you make money (that's their model). - 19 out of 20 startups fail, but the salespersons will still receive the commission. The cold hard truth: - If this startup were so cutting-edge, why would fifteen professional investors have all said no? Safeguarding Your Wealth: ⤷ "Who invested before me?" always should be asked. ⤷ Proof of institutional backing should be demanded. ⤷ Remember, in a startup, you are either the predator or the prey. #InvestmentTruths #VCInsider #startups

Indian VCs pour crores into showboat startups from Tier 1 cities — no MVP, no roadmap, just reels & retreats. But if you're from Tier 2 with real tech, real hustle — silence. Later, they wonder why India's youth chases jobs or opens thela startups.

Your job is to draw new round. New money. VCs are neither interested in any success anymore. Nor problem solving startups. Look at Ai wrapper startups.

Marc Andreessen on what VCs look for in startups. Venture capital is all about finding startups that stand out. Of the 4,000 startups looking for funding each year, only 200 get backed by top VCs, and just 15 grow to $100M+ in revenue. These 15

Hey, I'm on Medial • 8m

Even though 25% of all startups on Carta have just a solo founder, VCs hesitate to fund them. Having 2 to 3 founders seems to be the sweet spot if you were to raise VC money while building a startup. So, Is there a way to make VC funding easier as
