᠅ Founder Tip: Don’t raise money just because you can Raising money isn’t a milestone. It’s a trade. And most founders underestimate what they’re giving up. Here’s what to think through before taking VC money: 1. It’s not free—it’s fuel with expectations You’re not just raising ₹1Cr. You’re agreeing to chase 10X growth, fast. Miss it, and you're replaceable. 2. VC money changes the game You might need to pivot from your niche, loyal user base just to chase scale. Sometimes that kills the thing that was actually working. 3. You lose control, fast That board seat? That voting right? That clause in your SHA? Each round reduces your ability to steer your own ship. 4. Profitability becomes optional (dangerously) Suddenly, your focus is runway, not revenue. Burn becomes the norm. That’s fine—until the next round doesn’t come. 5. There are other paths Grants. Revenue. Angel rounds. Crowdfunding. Pre-orders. Even staying small. VC is just one route—not always the right one. Raise if it amplifies something that’s already working—not to start something that isn’t.
