I appreciate the reply! I guess my only sad face was bc I used to run a tech accelerator and I have seen how pervasive the title of your post actually is. That is, people just think that with an idea and a team then the money will come pouring in.
I think it would be good to have a follow on post with something that spoke to a) what key domain knowledge gave you a leg up b) what terms you got that let the investors feeling confident you would deliver without a product at the moment c) something that is repeatable to other founders.
To me, and I may be misguided, but it read more like a lottery-ticket funding rather than the hard work that and network that you had which shows your grind!
Just my two cents! Great read and congratulations again!

We got rejected A LOT. Like most companies. That said (and going back to the point I didn't make very well), every company is different. Don't let one person's experiences box you in.
