Raising capital is difficult, but not that difficult if you have a great idea.

The hard part is self-awareness.

You of course think you have a genius idea, that everyone will get rich.

But it doesn’t matter what you think.

It only matters what investors think.

If you can’t convince investors, it’s either because it’s a crappy idea, or you can’t sell.

Either way, you can’t win.

Let the market validate you. Try raise money.

If you truly have a good idea, you’ll get the money.

There’s more money than ideas.
