    1/ Entrepreneurs are brainwashed by the glamour stories of VC funded unicorns, not thinking these are the outliers. It makes perfect sense for them to focus on creating a business which generates enough cash flow for them to have an enjoyable lifestyle and that they are proud.

    5/ Dear entrepreneurs, Don't waste your energy chasing investors, channel it into achieving PMF and building a successful startup that you want to work and that you are proud.

    4/ The trouble is that VCs fund the media; as a result the truth gets distorted, and entrepreneurs believe that the only way to run a startup is to find investors! Achieving product market fit and building a successful startup is much more difficult than raising funds.

    3/ It makes far more sense to grow slowly and organically, and become the 100% owner of a profitable business, rather than struggle to find investors and then to make them rich! More than money, what your business/product need is patience, persistence and attention to details.

    2/ Only a small number of startups are VC fundable, because of the way most VCs operate. They can only invest in startups which grow exponentially in a few years so that they can exit fast. However, most startups need to be far more patient.

    People with “founder mentality” can’t rest once a problem or opportunity is identified. They take on personal responsibility without complaint, learn and recruit skills as needed, and deliver results despite politics. There is unlimited global demand for founder mentality.
