The two most important qualities in a founder are self-awareness and a growth mindset. Self-awareness = knowing what you need to improve Growth mindset = you can improve anything

Optimize your startup for product market fit / revenue is always the best option. build things of value first, that people happily pay for, then *maybe* explore VC - but it’s not generally the first “best” opinion.

100% agree with this article, & have voiced this opinion my whole career. The vast majority of entrepreneurs should NOT take venture capital. Why? Article nails it: it is a binary "swing for the fences" exercise. Bootstrapping more likely to lead to individual financial success.
