We Had to Raise Capital Too…

Thanks so much for sharing your story. I understand and appreciate the journey you’ve been through. But about this:
If you think raising capital for a startup is hard, try raising a fund.
If you think raising a fund is hard, try building a company (meaning : convince friends And strangers to invest their time — their _lives_ with you) while building a novel product or service (which by way no early customer is certain they need if it is sufficiently novel and differentiated), while raising capital _at the same time_
I’m grateful and the community at large undoubtedly benefits from your fundraising success. But I’d not expect an outpouring empathy from the entrepreneurs you fund :D
