Founders: If investors are making you feel powerless, Then I invite you to remember this: Investors are not your boss; They are your partner. They will provide the money; You provide the means for making more money. Their support of you is very valuable, But make no mistake - If you are a high-potential startup showing good traction, Then YOU are providing the bulk of the value in this arrangement. Investor money means liquidity, Which is very helpful for funding growth. But remember - That kind of money is relatively _easy_. (There is almost always cash available for ROI-positive investments.) The kind of money you’re creating is hard. Longterm 10X ROI is hard. Building great companies is HARD. So, if an investor isn’t holding up their end of the bargain, If they’re being disrespectful or dismissive, If they’re making your life harder, If they’re being a tyrant, And not a partner, Then, maybe it’s time To find another. — 👋 I'm Lauren.
