In my accelerator experience, they spent all their time on pitching and no time in actually accelerating the business growth. I'm afraid pitching for money is too prominent in startups.
How about pitching for customers? Build something people want to buy or support with real effort and pitch them on it.
Eventually the investors will be calling you.
Critical early stage time is wasted with a third or half the founders efforts going to raising large sums of money before product market fit is even there.
- hugs 10y agoThis is why I enjoyed being a part of Indie.vc. Zero emphasis on pitching or raising the next round. No demo day. All the focus was on growing a real business.
