    It’s weird congratulating founders on fundraising because it’s like “Congratulations on this thing that probably happened months ago but I didn’t know about until now”

        Polite disagree; same could be said about e.g. engagements. There’s a social purpose to posting a photo of the ring and a social purpose to telling people that you understand what the ring means and are happy for them.

        also we don't congratulate people for taking on debt, why do we congratulate them on selling equity

        "congrats on spinning up your hiring/selling that warranted announcing your funding!" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

        I think it was our last round that was done in early summer that we sat on until the fall to announce because of timing. It was killing me not to say anything.

        Also, the funding round is effectively saying - congrats that you told some people you would do a thing, and statistically, you won't. :)

        Other bad things about raising: 1) You now have bosses (ew) 2) Bootstrapping is better (if possible) 3) Investors relationships are fundamentally annoying- Who is more fun, your customers or investors? The "You changed my life" means so much more from a customer than an investor

        It’s the Silicon Valley suckup attitude. Everyone always kissing up to each other in order to network and to be able to get their next gig when they fail at their current one.

        See how corny VC’s are when it comes to someone getting a gf at a big firm: “Congrats to ___firm, they’re lucky to have hired ______”
