TBC109: Should You REALLY Be Raising From VCs?

from Funded | How They Raised Millions Hosted by Jason Yeh

In this episode of The Backchannel, we ask a critical question for founders: Should you actually be raising venture capital? We break down why most founders chasing VC money are doing it for the wrong reasons—whether it's validation, peer pressure, or simply not knowing other options. We also explore two common categories of founders who mistakenly pursue VC dollars and share practical ways to rethink your funding strategy. If you’ve ever considered raising venture capital, this episode will challenge you to reflect on your motivations and explore smarter, more sustainable ways to build and grow your business.
