Pre-seed round: a friend/family member talks to you openly about it. Seed round/incubator: an intervention or a relationship crisis ending on "you need professional help" Series A: You get therapy Series B: rehab Series C-D: Institutionalization Exit: ditch your old life

Bootstrapped lifestyle business/rejecting OPM: Refusing therapy and dropping people who insist you get therapy, and redesigning your life for psychological sustainability around what others think of as a mental condition and you think of as just a different way of life.
