Most early-stage founders don’t need a VC. They need this. You actually need 100 users who’d scream if your product disappeared. So for all idea-stage founders: 👉 Validate the pain first. 👉 Then validate your insight. 👉 Then test your way to 10 users who say “Shut up and take my money.” That’s your real funding round - paid with belief, not equity. Only after that do you need a VC. Most of the time? You’re fundraising to feel legit. Build signal. Then raise. Not the other way around.
