🔍 The Untold Truth About Early-Stage Startups & VC Blindspots Many powerful startups never launch not due to lack of potential, but because of a funding gap in the early stage. Why? Most VC associates reviewing decks and traction aren’t founders. They look for revenue, reviews, and products and miss the deep thinking, user psychology, strategy, and vision that’s already been done. The truth? Startups don’t fail from lack of vision they pause from lack of capital to activate that vision. And that first impression a brand creates? It takes serious resources. So instead of quitting, founders should: Find people who get the grind Pitch directly to those who've been there Partner with early believers Reach actual decision-makers not just analysts 🧠 What a real entrepreneur sees, no firm employee ever can vision needs to be judged by visionaries, not just associates. 💡 If you're in this phase don’t stop. You're way closer than you think. Just reach smarter. Keep building. 🚀
