💡 Fundraising isn’t always the answer. Founders, especially deep tech founders need ‘patient capital’, but over-reliance on #fundraising can cost you flexibility, control, and focus. The startup, Forward and even Elon Musk remind us: choose your #investors wisely. Build smart, not just fast. Read more of our December edition of The Voice for Startups below!
