You do not need to pay someone to raise money for your startup. If they ask for a retainer or a success fee or a due diligence fee upfront, they’re not helping — they’re feeding by on your FOMO. Real investors don’t need middlemen. Makes you look incompetent. They are predatory

Startup founders. Be frugal. Not cheap. Every penny you don’t spend adds a moment more runway. Every penny should have a (potential) return associated to it - doesn’t mean don’t take big bold bets - just understand the consequences. your $$ earns 5% just sitting in the bank.

StartUp Founders looking for PMF are never going to find it. At best, you'll catch a fleeting moment where everything aligns - right product, right problem, right time. Until it's not. via @StartUpScaleUp_ https://t.co/OO9fpIWrJh

For #StartUpFounders - XXX-Led Growth. Product-Led, Sales-Led, Community-Led, or whatevs, can be deceptive. A growth motion without retention is like building sandcastles on the beach - epic, awesome, but gone by morning. via @StartUpScaleUp_ https://t.co/zxNhx1LwNw

Visionary founders die trying to educate the market. Intelligent founders understand its a choice whether to create or capture customers. This isn't about innovation; it's terrain management aka Blue Ocean vs Red Ocean. via @StartUpScaleUp_ https://t.co/hnk2jVVSgt

StartUp Founders believe raising money is the next milestone - but it’s not. The next milestone is you, your ability to build, sell or do something with nothing. The investors are never coming. #susu0138 #startup #startups #founder #startupfounder #vctok #angelinvestor

As a #StartUp #Founder, no matter the epicness of what you build, you're up against forces determined to see you fail. Every customer you win is someone else's loss. Fight like hell to cross someone else's moat. via @StartUpScaleUp_ https://t.co/MueG2DIfIF

As a founder, never lose sight of what you're here to do. Strip everything back to the one critical feature your app must-execute flawlessly aka the job to be done. Then reverse-engineer the path to achieving it. via @StartUpScaleUp_ https://t.co/w296VZbamF
