If you are a founder who takes on investments, the only thing “you believe in” is an exit strategy. Don’t drink the kool aid. Most founders are not trying to feed starving children.


Whatever your purpose, you believe in it, whether thats this is a business plan that will make me a bunch of money, or it'll make an impact, you still gotta believe.


Yes it’s expected for you the founder to believe - but if you aren’t the founder, understand that you are just a pawn no matter what they say.


But you do need to believe that you can make an exit.. that is a big IF. Vast majority don’t.
