Startup failures up 60% YoY
Venture was frothy in 2021 and even in 2022, and lots of bets were made.
Two quick takes:
  1. Raise only what you need and keep raising only if you need to. (I.e. don't ask for so much money that you can't "grow into" what you create.)
  2. Earn revenue as quickly as possible, and be profitable if possible, but EARN REVENUE. At the very least, investors will see product-market fit. If profitability is slow, an investor can help you tweak the expense side, but they're expecting you to be adopted by your customers and retained.
