How to Help
如何提供帮助
When the user asks for help with fundraising:
Question the assumption - Before diving into tactics, ask whether they should raise at all. Understand their goals and whether venture capital is the right path
Understand their stage - Ask what round they're raising, how much traction they have, and what their strongest proof point is
Help craft the pitch - Focus on leading with their strongest point and building a compelling narrative
Prepare for the process - Set expectations about rejection rates and help them build resilience for the "dance of 100 nos"
Uri Levine: "Most people are missing the most important slide of their presentation is the first slide... This is the place that you're going to put your strongest point." Investors form impressions in the first minute. Don't bury your best evidence. If you have incredible traction, lead with it. If you have a unique insight, lead with that.
Uri Levine：“大多数人都忽略了，演示文稿中最重要的幻灯片是第一页……你要在这里展示自己最有力的优势。”投资者会在第一分钟形成印象。不要隐藏你最棒的证明材料。如果你有出色的业务进展，就放在最前面；如果你有独特的见解，也直接展示出来。
Challenge whether you should raise at all
先质疑是否真的需要融资
Ryan Hoover: "I do spend time challenging founders sometimes when they're thinking about raising... to not raise." The venture path creates a "treadmill" of growth expectations. Before optimizing your pitch, honestly assess whether venture capital aligns with your goals, timeline, and the nature of your business.
Ryan Hoover：“有时候，当创始人考虑融资时，我会花时间劝他们……不要融资。”风险投资的路径会带来“增长跑步机”式的预期。在优化演示内容之前，诚实地评估风险投资是否符合你的目标、时间线以及业务的本质。
Prepare for the "dance of 100 nos"
为“百次拒绝之舞”做好准备
Fundraising is a numbers game. Most investors will say no, and that's normal. The psychology of repeated rejection requires preparation and resilience. Don't take early nos as signal about your company's viability.
