Founders

Now is objectively the most brutal fundraising environment of the cycle.

Founders, just to help each other from a motivation standpoint, how many VC rejections did you receive before closing your first check/round?

got first check relatively fast (after ~4 months of ideating & prototyping). took nearly a year to get a second check. then, only after a big pivot, did we build up enough traction (over the course of another year) to raise a more substantial "round"

maybe too stupid to give up? 😂
