VC’s vs. Founders

Pitch decks prepared,

Dreams and plans laid out with care,

Rejection emails.

Money is promised,

Terms and contracts set in stone,

VCs change their minds.

Patience wearing thin,

VCs take ages to decide,

Opportunities lost.

Founders bring ideas,

Building with blood, sweat, and tears,

VC’s don’t get it.

VCs want control,

Founders’ visions pushed aside,

Innovation stifled.

Meetings and coffee,

Endless networking galore,

No funds materialize.

Drowning in jargon,

VCs speak a foreign tongue,

Founders feel lost.

VCs promise help,

But leave founders high and dry,

No support in sight.

VCs cut corners,

Short-term gains their only goal,

Founders left behind.

VCs demand growth,

Founders’ mental health takes a toll,

Burnout sets in fast.

Fundraising’s a grind,

VCs seem like the best bet,

But is it worth it?
