Nothing, for me.
Being funded is like eating a Power Bar.
It’s just fuel.
- Being funded isn’t money in your own pocket. It’s not a liquidity event.
- Being funded isn’t a success. It’s just something to help you achieve success.
- Being funded doesn’t even get you PR, not really, anymore. “Everyone” gets funded these days.
Perhaps, being funded is a milestone. The first time you do it.
After that.
It’s just fuel.
…
Now, the moment you IPO or sell for material $$$ … that’s different.
Even an IPO is just fuel, though.
