A startup founder once came to me, i can't disclose his name. He had a great product, a solid team, but funds were running low. He said, I need funding.’ I asked him, ‘Do you really need funding, or are you just rushing?’ Because raising funds has its pros: 🔹 You can grow faster 🔹 You get investor guidance and network 🔹 It builds market credibility But it also comes with cons: 🔸 You give away a share of your company 🔸 There's pressure to perform 🔸 Fundraising takes a lot of time and energy So, I helped him with proper valuation, made his pitch strong, and he confidently faced investors. He got the funding, without losing too much control. The takeaway? Before chasing investors, know your worth and be ready for the responsibility that comes with the money."
