Struggling for Startup Funding? If you're a founder hitting brick walls, I have a message for you. Your struggle isn't a sign you're failing; it's a symptom of what makes you a potential unicorn. You're facing the Investor's Paradox: the best opportunities are often the ones everyone else overlooks. * "Your market is too niche." Not true. A niche isn't a limitation; it's a moat. Don't sell the size of the pond; sell the depth of the water. Showcase your users' obsession—that's a highly defensible fortress. * "Come back with more traction." Traction is a rearview mirror.

Your depth of knowledge and unique obsession with solving this problem are your most compelling signals.
