Hustle Fundย โขย 6m
The best fundraises I've seen in 2025 were basically closed before the deck was even finished. Why? Because the founder started fundraising before the raise. Not with a pitch. Not with a deck. With a whisper. They socialized the round early. They made investors feel like they were being let in. They created pull - not push. Here's what that looks like in practice: "We're not raising yet, but I'll loop you in when we do." "We've been heads-down, but starting to think about what a great Series A partner looks like." "We've been approached about raising - I'll keep you posted." This soft-launch approach builds momentum before the raise is public. By the time the deck is ready, the round is already 40-60% spoken for. Decks don't drive rounds. Demand does. Next time, When you are paying to build a deck... Ask yourself?? Is it really worth this time?

Every funding round tells a story.โจ Not just of product-market fit, but of founder-market fit. โจNot just of capital raised, but conviction earned. Look closer and youโll see the patterns: 1) AI startups arenโt raising because theyโre AI. Theyโre ra
