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.

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’

Don’t try to go fast when building a startup. Take it slow and enjoy the process. Fast doesn’t guarantee consistency but being slow and steady does. If you wanna raise funding and flex, that’s a different story 😄

Every funding round tells a story.
 Not just of product-market fit, but of founder-market fit. 
Not just of capital raised, but conviction earned. Look closer and you’ll see the patterns: 1) AI startups aren’t raising because they’re AI. They’re ra
