We’ve glamorized the wrong heroes. Startups raise $5M and celebrate. But they have no revenue. No profit. No product-market fit. Just a deck, a dream, and a burn rate. Meanwhile, there’s a quiet founder pulling $40k/month from a boring SaaS with 0 funding and 0 followers. Guess who’s actually free? Fundraising is not success. Valuation is not wealth. Headcount is not progress. If your business only works with VC money — you don’t have a business. You have a financial time bomb. Build something real. Make it profitable. Then scale. If you’re sick of fake wins and want to build actual freedom, follow @souravvmishra — we talk about businesses that print cash, not just pitch decks.
