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.

The biggest issue with early-stage companies isn't strategy or source - it's storytelling. Perfect stage awareness means nothing if you can't articulate your vision and traction compellingly. Great companies with poor communicators struggle to raise, while mediocre companies with masterful storytellers often succeed. The framework should include "Story" as a critical component of fundraising success.

But story without strategy? Just noise. The most dangerous founders are the ones who can pitch beautifully.. yet haven’t nailed product, stage, or real traction. That’s how funded flops are born. So yes- let’s add “Story” to the framework:  Stage -> Strategy -> Story -> Source But in that order - because a killer pitch built on shaky ground is just venture theater. So the goal should be?  ^Clear stage. Smart strategy. Compelling story. Right capital.  And that’s how you raise well - not just ‘raise’
