Your Startup Is Not a School Carwash : So Stop Treating It Like One
You cannot manifest your way into a seed round, sweetie. I don’t care how “innovative” your deck looks or how many times you wrote disrupt in Comic Sans. If you walk into an investor meeting without actual financials—like, real ones, not the duct-taped nonsense your ‘friend of a friend who took an accounting class’ made in Excel—you’re just wasting everyone’s time (including mine). These people aren't funding your dream journal. They're looking for someone who knows how to run a business, not someone who’s still using Venmo for payroll.
