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
