Transcript

How did I raise $300,000? Pre-seed round for my startup. So I raised it from an accelerator. And the only thing that the pre-seed VCs care about is your founding team. And if you have a clear vision on how to sell and how to build. The best case scenario is your founding team is very correlated to whatever you're building. But even having a clear vision on how to sell and build is actually a demonstration of if your founding team has the ability, the ideas doesn't even matter that much at this stage. Like you could pivot 100 times before your series A round. The more important thing is they need to see if your founding team has the determination and the mindset and the ability to sell and build the thing.
