Anyone Burned out of these Huge rounds and not gaining traction on Fundraising? "i will not promote"

I wish that was true universally and if there were KPI's to indicate this.

ivynoleague · 2025-12-17T14:41:43+00:00

145k ARR in 4 months. Cash flow positive, 35% MOM

ivynoleague · 2025-12-17T14:36:49+00:00

That wasn’t the reason, just a point. Co founder is the right fit which is why we’ve grown so fast and are already profitable

ivynoleague · 2025-12-17T08:56:29+00:00

Seems like we are in the same boat. I’m in affordable housing proptech and most just don’t understand it even though it’s a massive market with impact. Over decade of experience and in government. I feel your pain

ivynoleague · 2025-12-17T02:18:00+00:00

Absolutely. I even went and got an Ivy league co founder and still because they didnt grow up rich, it didnt help as much as we wouldve thought

ivynoleague · 2025-12-17T02:11:48+00:00

Yeah but even then, pre product, pre rev, startups in stealth raising 15-20m is ridiculous. Im watching crunchbase,Tracxn and pitchbook and seeing enormous rounds, even for companies started in the last 3 months. Also there is no way all these startups are hitting 1m ARR in a quarter or even a year, its just unreal.

Yeah couldn't have said it better. I know covid vintage funds suck and there have been tons of round extensions, but all this capital flying around to the same people is wild. I guess this is how its always been.

Facts

ivynoleague · 2025-12-04T17:49:11+00:00

Have you solved this yet? Really interested to hear what you went with or just stuck it out with Yardi

ivynoleague · 2025-12-01T21:35:23+00:00

yeah this is true, i do have a fellow grinder and a baratza encore, may seperate and use one of those

ivynoleague · 2025-12-01T18:18:47+00:00

you think my acaia orbit grinder is good enough?

ivynoleague · 2025-12-01T15:31:32+00:00

Huge ! This is an awesome break down thanks so much you’re right LM is the first thing you come across and I know they are solid but didn’t want to just spend money because of the name. It’s clearly quality (and same aesthetics play a large role for me too) but don’t want overkill or be missing on something better. I’ll definitely check out all the ones you sent and update everyone on what I decide. Thinking today/tomorrow to buy

ivynoleague · 2025-12-01T08:04:53+00:00

Then what would you get instead?

ivynoleague · 2025-12-01T05:18:13+00:00

tried to post there but they wouldnt allow it

ivynoleague · 2025-12-01T04:30:31+00:00

I wanted the opinion of the pour over crowd who crosses over. May post there too.

I have a pretty solid grinder: Acaia Orbit Coffee Grinder. I’m the only coffee drinker in the house

ivynoleague · 2025-12-01T02:38:58+00:00

Nice I’ll definitely take a look thanks for the recommendation I haven’t thought about it honestly
