Fundraising is one of the toughest yet most rewarding aspects of building every startup specially for Routate. It’s not just about securing capital; it’s about finding the right partners who believe in your vision as much as you do. The challenges can be overwhelming endless pitches, rejections, and refining your message over and over. But through it all, you learn resilience, patience, and the art of storytelling. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and every "no" brings you one step closer to the right "yes." Keep pushing forward! #Startups #Entrepreneurship #Fundraising #Resilience #Growth

Founders love to talk about their product’s features. But investors care about the problem. Features change. Products evolve. The best founders anchor their pitch in: -The size and urgency of the problem they’re solving. -Why their approach is uniquely positioned to solve it. -How they’ll grow and adapt alongside the market. A product pitch tells investors what you’ve built. A problem pitch tells them why they should believe in your future. #startups #fundraising

Just build an MVP or a prototype and test the market to reduce your risk. It's surprising how many startup founders don't take this approach. Mitigating risk is crucial because many only see the success stories and think raising millions is the norm. They read headlines about companies getting funded and assume it's an easy path, but it’s not that simple. Getting funding is just one part of the journey. 📈 #founder #entrepreneurship #mvp #startups #fundraising
