PARTNERS PAST & PRESENT
Most founders don’t fail because of bad ideas
They fail because their startup dies before it even has a chance of traction.
Not enough money, too few contacts to launch & iterate properly, and no chance of reaching customers at scale.
It’s like riding a starving horse. You can’t expect it to run.
The problem isn’t that the ideas are bad, it’s that most founders don’t understand how investors think.
Even founders that have an investor network, or know where to find one, pitch the features of their product or tell their whole life story.
Investors don’t care about that.
They look for conviction.
They like founders who can neatly explain the product & the solution and are believable.
Investors judge the founder more than the idea.
If you don’t understand this
difference, you won’t get funded.
