Dear Founders

“Out of all the dalai lamas of the fundraising world 😄, you're the most coherent — and the one who truly teaches and strengthens the foundation of those who genuinely want to learn. Hats off to you.”

“Don't know bro. Read post. Witty, humble, insightful. Hit follow.”

“i love reading your posts. Always insightful, amusing. Great combination.”

“Capital is an amplifier… not a savior.” Love this one-liner. I'm going to use this and quote you for years to come.

“I absolutely love this and it's refreshing to hear a VC say this”

“Kudos on the integrity and transparency to admit all of this. Not enough people admit to failure — it's always swept under the rug.”

“The best post of the decade.”

“What makes this perspective interesting is the honesty behind it. In a world where people are constantly encouraged to "scale fast" or chase trends, it is refreshing to see someone emphasize substance.”

“I think this is the most honest and clear take on the reality: "Fundraising is just two groups of ambitious, mildly delusional humans, trying to look sane in front of each other." 😆👏”

“Love this. Don't know you but want to just from this refreshing take.”
