When you build your business people will be selling you everything. keep focused on growing your business. Various people will be selling you everything. Keep focused on growing your revenue. Dont be distracted.

A VC wont be telling you this but we will

Dont be wasting your time focusing on answering any emails unless it brings you revenue. If your company if not generating revenue you need to pivot after 3-6 months. People will sell you everything and anything they can. Ignore the emails.

My background is that i have been backed by a top tier VC, sold a business and have worked in finace.

add me on X

People will try to get you involved in communities and events

Its a waste of time. Focus on the revenue, and talk only to investors and advisors that can actually provide you some kind of value to your startup. People waste years and continue to work on their startup. It should take 6 months to show you have customers and revenue organically.
