1. Like everything it’s just reps 2. You’re going to see a lot of other teams that you think you’re more capable than raise more/faster/at better terms than you - just assume there’s some (probably “unfair”) hidden thing you don’t see like a family or work relationship and keep doing you.

Cut down your living expense and burn rate (get some side gigs if you need to hustle to cover costs), focus on building and getting users, let investors chase you, and never settle until you find the right investors.

What everyone else has said + read up a little on how VC works as a business. The better you understand their motivations the better you'll be able to tweak your pitch so that it shows them what they want to see

1. Equity is more valuable than you think it is. Yes, even more. 2. Solve for founder liquidity events - the aim is to run a sustainable business not a charity.
