from years of helping @alliancedao startups fundraise, ive found that most vcs tend to judge startups as finished sculptures that don’t evolve over time, rejecting them over trivial product and go-to-market flaws. the problem is empirically they’re usually wrong, and even when they are right strong teams course-correct quickly. the only sound reasons for passing before clear product-market-fit is market size and founder-market fit—yet few investors cite those reasons.
