@chrisharoun: Promising investors a 5X return might actually hurt your startup pitch. 📈 When a founder presents unrealistic financial projections, experienced investors see the red flags immediately. Two of the biggest mistakes? 1️⃣ Promising returns that are unrealistic. 2️⃣ Underestimating how much money and time the business will actually need. A hockey stick growth chart looks great in a presentation. Delivering those numbers is a completely different story. Credibility beats unrealistic promises.
