2) Look up who invested in rounds most similar to what you're looking to raise
You have a starting point for your target list

Incumbent financial institutions are slow, not stupid. If your main advantage is acquiring consumers banks don’t want, there’s probably a good reason they didn’t want them.
Your biz model should account for that reason.

Too many of ya'll taking VC money in crypto when you should be bootstrapping.

Look. Hayden Adams built Uniswap in a cave. W/ a $65k grant & a box of scraps.
That's the power of crypto.
Just cause a VC wants give you $10m doesn't mean you need it.
More building less raising.

Founders, you will get immensely bored of saying your vision over and over again.
— Harry Stebbings (@HarryStebbings) October 5, 2022
But every time you do, you have to do it with as much energy and conviction as you did the first time.
For someone, it will be their first time hearing it. Never drop the energy and inspiration.
Starting a startup is fundamentally irrational.

So why do so many immigrants do it?
Because they come from not much and have NOTHING TO LOOSE.
They are HUNGRY and DRIVEN TO WIN.
Immigration is a test for RESILIENCE.
All together creates powerful founder archetype.
With all due respect to Elon Musk - and I do respect him - I would suggest he needs to understand the facts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

If you want to build a startup, the real test isn't the initial idea or raising venture capital, it's convincing 2-3 of the smartest people you know to join you.
