Yeah.

The more boring.

Honestly, my fundraising strategy has always been the same as like, you know, a founder, which is cause FOMO.

And then through that FOMO.

like jack up the price of the valuation.

Kind of, but like also just plant seeds without telling who you're talking to.

So say like, oh yeah, like I would rather be like, oh yeah, I'm going to Sandhill Road.

I have a few meetings.

So like this day at this time works because then they're like, oh crap, like who is she talking to?

Sandhill Road has all the best VCs.

Like this is going to be a killer deal.

I need to move fast, right?

Like that causes FOMO.

Even if you're not going.

So I try to time like all my meetings around the same time.

So then I get multiple term sheets at the same time and then make those term sheets bid against each other.

I think it's a lot of it is psychology.

So, you know, there's like the Kickstarter method where when like 80% of like the Kickstarter is filled, like it's going to get oversubscribed.

People have like a fear of missing out.

So I like the best advice I always give founders is start at a lower valuation.
