Self funder here. I’m done that for the last 14 month. My monthly cost are low but lawyer fees and contracts are my struggle.

@Z.Pompey: I love your content so much and 100% Agree! Being on the investor side we tell founders to understand capitalize stacking - and learn what capital works best & align it with your ownership GOALS. BUILD a strong business model!

Love that and agree. I am currently self funding my second company (Caribbean/coastal stock media platform) with the profits from my first (a consulting firm). I also think self funding really helped me understand money and business better bc I came from a long corporate career.

the one thing that annoys me about vc money is that you will make exceptions for the "team". why can't Seed money be pre- revenue and traction and live product. if you will invest in pre-seed based on team, what criteria would you base investing in Seed ? investing in Team pre product market fit is a better signal for you ?

Ah here. $5M for most is a fortune. If you can self raise that then you don’t really need to worry about things. This is Tik toc Nicole - keep it real ! Most start ups need $50k

The one thing VC does really well is PR — making all founders feel like it’s the only way to raise capital when it should actually be last resort
