Capital Is Not Your Ticket to Success - You Are Founders chasing capital like it’s the ultimate prize—like landing a big round will finally validate them, unlock their potential, and set them on the path to success. And I get why. The entire startup ecosystem is designed to make you believe that raising more money means you’re winning. But that’s not how this works. In reality, capital is only valuable when it aligns with what you’re building—when it serves you, rather than the other way around. Too many founders unknowingly give power to capital, instead of keeping power where it belongs: with themselves. Let's talk about how to keep power as a founder and how to wield capital to your advantage.
