If I’m being sincere, I didn’t have what it requires a creator

Over the last number of weeks, I’ve been dealing with some really amazing creators. One guy was a three-star basic at one point. Another remains in the U.S. since his research study is up until now ahead of the AI discovering curve that the U.S. State Department provided him an O-1 remarkable capability visa. Another had a doctorate and a stack of patents in his name.

If you’re operating at a VC company, it isn’t uncommon to fulfill such remarkable individuals. You’ll see a consistent stream of individuals waltzing in with pitch decks, models and résumés. VCs are on a continuous mission to find and purchase amazing start-ups, those uncommon gems with the prospective to interfere with markets, innovate markets, and interrupt the hell out of whatever in sight. And if you’re a hopeful start-up creator, you might question if you have what it requires to draw in such financial investment and flourish in the competitive start-up environment.

What I’m seeing out on the fundraising path right now is that if you do not have best founder-market fit, fundraising is getting tough

Obviously, that got me thinking of my own start-ups. If I map myself versus the requirements of fundraising today, none of my start-ups would’ve had a gnat’s shadow’s possibility of raising cash.
