But, you know, you don't need to raise $100 million. You can still raise like $5 million or $250,000, right? Like you don't need to go extreme with it.

I mean, I think, I think the topic of like raising VC capital for people that are not, you know, so networked as well as I guess you are, I don't know where you live, LA, New York. I'm in Miami. Okay. Fancy, fancy, fancy. Um, but yeah, you know, I do live in San Francisco and I am on, on, you know, tech Twitter quite a lot.

And, uh, you know, I'm very networked of course, but like ultimately I think to raise venture capital, the more you talk about your products and what you're working on, I actually think the harder it really is. Um, because I don't think any seed or lower investor gives a fuck about what you're working on. I think it's almost entirely, um, you know, investing in you and your ability to yap.

And therefore, I think it's honestly quite easy to raise VC in the sense you just you truly just need to be good at yapping. And I also think that the real way you raise is when it becomes about the deal and not about what you're actually working on in a sense. I don't know how to explain that particularly, but Just like everything, VC is a social game.

And these VCs are inherently just kind of trying to get a better, you know, they're competing against their their coworkers and their friends at other funds. And like, that's what they really care about. They care about who's involved in certain deals. You know, when you're when your fundraise is about the deal and not about your

product, I guess, or your company, that's, I think, when it becomes so easy. How to get to that point? I don't know. You just you either know how to do it or you don't. It's not like anyone will really give you some specific advice like that. All I think that the only thing that people should really be optimizing for is personal confidence.

I think it bleeds into everything from how good you are at yapping, how good you are at recruiting, how good you are at following your own intuition, which makes it easier to make, you know, major product decisions or just any decisions at all. And you know how also it removes your fear of competition, I would say strongly. I truly think that like

if i succeed in stuff one day like i really want to write a lot more and instill more of this underlying sense of personal confidence is what most founders should be working towards rather than like yc advice because if you are confident enough in yourself and again you need to act like i think the thing is that you still need to actually have good ideas and you need to be smart but like if that's where you're at i i have no advice to give you that's that's your fucking problem but assuming you meet you know the the bare you know bar minimum requirements um
