Hey startups, be prepared! It's now taking almost a year longer to reach a Series A round than it did five years ago (Carta). We know it's harder to raise money and some companies are electing to take in more capital with SAFEs/convertible notes before converting to equity. When building your business model, consider your timeline with this in mind. Potential investors will be eyeing this carefully. #angelinvestors #animalhealth #capital #entrepreneurs

Are We Celebrating the Right Success in Startups? It’s unfortunate that the startup world often celebrates success based on funding announcements rather than real achievements like traction, growth, or strategic expansions. While raising funds is a milestone, it’s not the end goal. The true measure of success lies in sustainable growth, customer satisfaction, and how well a startup is moving towards its long-term vision. This culture of highlighting funding over progress can often demotivate the slow yet steady movers—the ones building strong foundations, inching towards success one step at a time. Let’s shift the narrative and celebrate real progress, resilience, and the startups that are making meaningful strides, whether they’ve raised funds or not. #StartupCulture #SustainableGrowth #CelebrateProgress #FounderMindset #TractionOverFunding #Resilience #Entrepreneurship #GrowthJourney #BuildingForSuccess #bid4best
