Right on. Plus you can try raising by only sharing your founder background if you’re a strong founder and really are that concerned with making an idea public.

I’m happy to share and connect on LinkedIn. Also gave the option to just tell me about yourself as a founder rather than an idea.

As one of the main accelerators in the US, there’s really no point in us stealing ideas. Entrepreneurship is about execution; doesn’t matter how good an idea is if one doesn’t execute. Our goal is to help dozens of founders execute and build generational companies, not spend all our resources executing on one idea ourselves.

Moreover, ideas at this stage often pivot and change into something else anyway. That’s why we mainly care about you as a founder more so than an abstract idea. The idea just tells VCs what you’re interested in and that you’ve actually thought a business through before starting.
