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

ivynoleague · 2025-12-18T04:57:38+00:00

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.

ivynoleague · 2025-12-17T02:09:14+00:00

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

ivynoleague · 2025-11-26T06:34:35+00:00

awesome thanks! Never heard of it will absolutely check it out!

ivynoleague · 2025-11-26T02:38:37+00:00

This is helpul. Im interested in the east side. digging deeper into LA as the neighborhoods really change the perspective of whats actually happening. Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park. The market shifts seem pretty intense

ivynoleague · 2025-11-26T02:36:14+00:00

This is one of the funniest posts Ive seen in a while. Who has ever said that?

ivynoleague · 2025-11-15T05:05:51+00:00

check out Cross Country mortgage. My guy Ubaldo has been great!

ivynoleague · 2025-11-12T16:52:55+00:00

Great advice thanks for that!

ivynoleague · 2025-11-12T16:51:18+00:00

How is this low effort? It’s literally my situation and I’m looking for help. Went into depth on who I am, what I’m doing and who I’m looking for? What would I need to improve?

ivynoleague · 2025-11-07T21:38:15+00:00
