The reason most founders are surprised by the difficulty of fundraising is that they're learning something about themselves, not something about fundraising. They know fundraising is hard for startups that don't seem appealing to investors. They just didn't realize they had one.

True that investors need to be convinced that their money has a good chance of bringing in good returns. The problem with this model is that some of the most transformational products take time and may not show traction immediately. How do you not miss them?

I totally agree. We built Replete to allow people download their longitudinal medical records for free. Do we make money from day 1? no. Do we have a potential to be Billion $ business? Oh yes. So looking for an investor who understands our business model. Not been easy so far!!!

We have multiple companies in India which grew revenue fast. They still aren't making profit.(10-12yrs old) Why isn't profit, even a small margin, an important indicator for investors. Ultimately cash flow decides valuation, doesn't it?

grow revenue fast > grow profit fast seems to be the investor preference - why is this?

The hardest problem for founders is creating revenue that grows. Profitability and staying afloat during furious growth is an easier optimization problem. If rapid revenue is a requirement, don't bother raising. Instead, solve the hard problem and get good at optimization.

I don’t think this is the most actionable metric for startup companies. Many don’t have any monetization enabled quite yet, but have tremendous growth in user count and internal product metrics. Aren’t those the best for measuring potential returns to the fund?

I wanted to ask this same question
