Still nothing. So he let his dreams rot in his notebooks, while the world moved on. No VC meetings. No startup accelerators. No Shark Tank. Just a genius, begging with a pen. People say “𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐥.” No. Back then, it was a death sentence. Today? You have LinkedIn, Twitter, email, DMs, pitch contests, angel networks. You can literally @ an investor and start a conversation. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐥𝐚. Push. Ping. Pitch. Because genius doesn’t win. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬.
