A simple thing I advise early-stage founders on: —> Stage —> Strategy —> Source 1) Stage - What stage are you really at? Idea, MVP, early traction, PMF? 2) Strategy - Do you need capital to survive or to scale? Different answers, different risks.

Hey I am on Medial • 18h

The stage awareness part is spot-on. Too many founders raise at the wrong stage - either too early before they have anything to show, or too late after they've exhausted resources. The badge mentality is also real - raising money has become a vanity metric rather than a tool for growth. The best founders are crystal clear about why they're raising and what specific milestones the money will help them achieve.
