Unpopular Opinion: If you have zero traction, donโt pitch VCs yet. You know what I see too often? Founders sending decks before theyโve even tested the idea. Hereโs the blunt truth: ๐ก VCs donโt fund ideas. They fund signals. And โsignalโ doesnโt mean revenue. It could be: - 100 waitlist signups in 7 days - 5 cold DMs turning into demo calls - Users coming back without reminders or something else Thatโs traction. Thatโs momentum. So if you're at zero, stop pitching. Start validating. Should I do a post breaking down traction levels VCs actually look for? Drop a โYesโ in the comments.

Founders - please stop doing this. I'm not a VC yet but even to me this screams desperate and a red flag. Nobody writes a cheque without validating the idea or seeing traction, team, roadmap etc. Ideally you should start fund raising even before yo
