See strategic capital is fuel. This framework isnโ€™t pro-VC- itโ€™s pro-intention. It helps founders think before they fund: - Do you even need capital? - Is the cost of funding worth the dilution? - Can you build without it? - Should you? Many great companies should never raise. But for the ones who do - clarity > capital. โ€œOptionalityโ€ - so founders choose funding, not chase it.

Founders celebrate term sheets like trophies. But capital without clarity is a liability. Is funding fuelling real startupsโ€”or just prolonging bad ideas?
