Very good article. The VC game is super hard now - especially in Europe where it is dead. Since we started focusing on customers things are super clear and we don't have runway problems anymore. Cockroach mode works these days. Sell sell sell. There is no better money in than revenue.

Thanks for reading. It's been a pattern popping up that I wanted to shed light on.

And yes that's probably the greatest thing about startups!
