    • “Fair point, but also… this is basically the thing everyone says & then somehow ignores when they start fundraising.
    Yes, big painful expensive problems matter. But the more time I spend around VC / fundraising, the more I think the best position is: build the company like you…” — r/startups (17 upvotes)

    Our take: We mostly buy this: the best fundraising posture is not needing the money, because scarcity cuts both ways. The caveat is that enterprise AI infrastructure can be brutally capital-intensive, so a $27 million Series A can be leverage, not oxygen, if the product is already pulling customers in.
