Your network is your silent resume. Build it before you need it. 🎯 Most founders wait until they're desperate for funding before they start networking—and that's exactly why they struggle. Investors don't fund ideas; they fund trust, momentum, and people they already know. Stop chasing VCs. Start building relationships with builders, operators, early customers, and people one step ahead. If you can't convince them, you won't convince investors. Cold pitching = the tax you pay for being invisible. Instead, build in public, share your process, and own your narrative. The uncomfortable truth? Most startups don't fail because of bad ideas—they fail because founders lack trust. Your network is how you build that trust, one authentic relationship at a time. Build credibility today. It becomes your unfair advantage tomorrow. 💪 . . . #StartupJourney #Networking #FounderMindset #StartupAdvice #Entrepreneurship #BuildInPublic

Day 3 — The Hard Truth About Building Trust Day 3 feels different — not because something big happened, but because nothing did. I’ve reached out to 100+ founders and faced more “no’s” and silences than I expected. It’s exhausting — but revealing.
