Venture Capital requires to have a 100% investment readiness and venture worthiness to be interesting for funding
Fundraising is becoming the new startup “milestone”, while the real milestones should be sustainable and repeatable company growth
Number #1 reason for startup failure comes from poor PMF and low product and service distribution and growth
1% of all startups will attract the of 99% of investments. So focus on becoming a top 1% startup and not in excelling in fundraising
