Most founders don’t actually want to build a unicorn.
They want to own their time, build something real, and exit for $5M in 5 years.
That’s a great life.
There’s nothing wrong with it.
But nobody will fund that.
So they pitch global domination instead.
Experienced investors see through it every time.
The angels don’t.
And those are the worst deals in venture.
@__ciox__@StanleyMasinde_ Adblock is free but has an option for sponsorship. M-changa is not for maandamano only.
Write a manifesto and share it with the cab drivers. Do a press tour and garner some eyes for the project. All this is free. No cent paid.
@__ciox__@StanleyMasinde_ Empower in NYC uses a subscription-based model. Just ensure you've locked in on the GTM strategy and advertising and marketing budget.
@__ciox__ Pick a sample size of 10 drivers and 10 customers and put the product in their hands. Study their habits throughout the app-building journey. Refine it based on the feedback.
Do a financial breakdown and analysis of the infrastructure costs, licenses, disposable income, etc
Always and everywhere
Whether you're raising $100,000 or $100 million
You have to sell yourself as a founder
Why are you exceptional? What are your greatest accomplishments?
Why should I believe in you? Anything else is absolutely peripheral.
