The Entrepreneurโ€™s Funding Journey (aka "The Hunger Games: VC Edition") 1. Idea stage: โ€œThis is going to revolutionize the world.โ€ 2. Prototype stage: โ€œIt almost works. On Tuesdays. If you pray.โ€ 3. Pitch stage: โ€œWeโ€™re pre-product, pre-revenue, pre-salaryโ€ฆ but post-hope.โ€ 4. Investor feedback: โ€œCome back when youโ€™re profitable, global, and somehow still bootstrapped.โ€ Meanwhile, youโ€™re the CEO, CFO, intern, customer service, tech support, coffee machine, and your only consistent partner isโ€ฆ Google Search. But heyโ€”resilience builds character, right? (And therapy bills.) To all my fellow founders: may your valuations be high, your cap tables be clean, and your investors actually read the deck. #Startuplife #PitchOrPerish #WhereIsTheMoney #EntrepreneurHumor #VCDrama #SendHelpAndCoffee
