Bro, let's be honest and real—pre-seed and early-stage investments are mostly just marketing tactics. Every VC and angel investor claims to be founder-friendly and willing to invest in early-stage startups, but the reality is different. They only invest in those who have connections with them. Without a strong network or a proven track record, no one is going to invest in your idea. They want numbers, an MVP, revenue, a customer base, customer reviews, feedback, etc. Even then, the chances are slim because, for some VCs, seed funding means having a monthly revenue of 50 lakh or more.
