Please STOP chasing funding without a plan. I see too many founders with big dreams but no fundamentals. If you want to raise capital, do this at each stage: 1. Pre-Seed: Focus on developing your MVP and proving technical feasibility 2. Seed: Validate product-market fit and establish early traction 3. Series A: Implement a scalable go-to-market strategy and grow your customer base 4. Series B: Expand your addressable market and optimize operations For example: → Conduct user testing to refine your MVP → Survey customers to identify key pain points → Hire experienced sales leaders to scale revenue → Invest in infrastructure to support rapid growth You will build a fundable startup by methodically decreasing risk at each stage rather than just chasing the next round. Do that consistently and watch your valuation soar. -- ♻️ Found this helpful? Repost it so your network can learn from it, too.

When to raise funding (for most startups): ⏱️ Earliest time: Problem/Solution Fit Investors today don’t fund product development, but traction. Problem/Solution fit is when you validate demand for your product and go from hoping people will buy to knowing they will. What they buy: Promising pipeline with tangible customer commitments 🚀 Optimal time: Product/Market Fit Before product/market fit, your goals and your investors' goals are misaligned. You need to learn, they want growth. After product/market fit, you both need and want growth. What they buy: Repeatable and scalable business model with 10x growth potential. 👊 Ideal time: Never :) Bootstrap all the way and build a profitable and scalable business powered by happy customers. Rarer, but possible, if you prioritize building Camels over Unicorns. P.S. Camels can and do still raise money but for strategic growth, not survival.

How LPs Assess VC Funds VC is an outlier asset class. According to 2006 - 2022 VC investment data from Adams Street Partners: 80% of returns are made in just 18% of the investments. This is why VC selection is so critical. James Heath points out 5 key aspects when it comes to VC assessment. 1. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 LPs ask: Do they have successful investments, considering exit strategies and returns generated? 💡 They simultaneously assess IRR, TVPI, and DPI. 2. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬 LPs ask: Do they align with your investment thesis, especially in terms of current market trends and opportunities? 💡 They’re specific in the stages, sectors, and sizes they want to invest in. 3. 𝐂𝐨-𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 LPs ask: Do they have a smooth process and a high-quality deal flow? 💡 They like to see a formal process in deal flow. 4. 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 LPs ask: Who are the GPs and what’s their overall relevant experience? 💡 They like GPs that founders like to work with. 5. 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐬 LPs ask: What are the rates / fees and how does this reflect in GP commitment? 💡 They look for long-term relationships. If I had to pick only one, I’d say Track Record is still the most important. What do you think?
