Reflecting on my investor journey, it's remarkable how the optimism presented in an investment deck sometimes diverges from the nuanced reality uncovered during meticulous due diligence. 🕵️♂️📉 Acknowledging this gap is essential for fostering a culture of transparency in the startup ecosystem. Often I found founders wanted 100-1000x of their own investment whilst at stage 1 they value their startup so the seed investor comes in for a full potential 5-10x in 3 years. Very unrealistic for most cases. Let's encourage entrepreneurs to align their projections with the true landscape, setting realistic expectations for sustainable growth. #InvestingReality #DueDiligence #TransparencyMatters #startup #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurship

Early conviction is a game-changer for startups and entrepreneurs! My personal journey has shown that the investors who are quickest to demonstrate their belief in a founder's vision tend to forge the most robust and mutually beneficial partnerships. This isn't just my own observation; it's a pattern that echoes throughout the industry. It's essential for entrepreneurs to remember that the best investors bring more than just capital to the table—they invest their time, their expertise, and their network. Investors, take note: When you move decisively and back your conviction with action—like writing that first term sheet—you're not just funding a venture, you're igniting a relationship that can thrive on shared commitment and trust. #venturecapital #investmentstrategy #startupfunding #entrepreneurship #businessrelationships #earlystagestartups #earlystageinvesting #vc Continuously grateful for Harry Stebbings’s wisdom over X, and the occasional opportunity to repost something thoughtful!

Seed investors can be double-edged swords. They give you capital fast. They might also try to control your vision. But remember: - Trust your gut - Be firm in your decisions - Keep those guiding lights in check Your startup, your rules. P.S. Have you had any similar experiences with seed investors? #StartupLife #SeedInvestors #Entrepreneurship
