🚀 Top 10 Innocent Founders I’ve Met – And Their Deeply Innocent Questions 🙏🧠
Featuring blind confidence, wild optimism & PowerPoint MVPs.
Startups are hard. Founders are brave.
But some are also... hilariously innocent. 😇
Most Innocent Founder Questions (Yes, these are real. I wish they weren’t.)
1️⃣ “We don’t have a product yet… but we’re raising $1M. Is that cool?”
🗣️ Yes, totally. Right after I sell my kidney and invest in dreams.. But I am not, So who is investing?
💡 Pro tip: Build something. Anything. Even a landing page.
2️⃣ “We built the MVP. Now we just need a tech co-founder.”
🤖 MVP = A Canva mockup + Figma wireframe.
👨💻 Bro, that’s not a product. That’s a slideshow with hopes.
3️⃣ “We’re pre-revenue but have 200 people on our waitlist.”
📬 Translation: 198 friends + 2 fake emails.
🎯 Cool, but unless they’re paying, it’s just air.
4️⃣ “Do you invest in ideas?”
🧞♂️ Only if the idea includes teleportation or curing cancer and can be delivered in 10 minutes.
🚫 Otherwise… no.
5️⃣ “Can we skip angel round and directly go for Series A?”
🚀 Sure. And I’ll skip gym and directly enter a Marvel movie.
👀 Step 1: Crawl. Then run. Then maybe fly.
6️⃣ “We just launched. When should we plan our exit?”
🏃♂️ Exit? Bro, you haven’t even entered the market.
💀 Focus on survival before your billion-dollar exit.
7️⃣ “We’re not worried about competition. No one else is doing this.”
🚨 That’s a red flag, not a flex.
💭 Maybe no one’s doing it because… no one wants it?
8️⃣ “We’re bootstrapped. But we need a full-stack dev, designer, marketer, CFO, and COO.”
💸 With what money? Monopoly?
📉 Bootstrap ≠ Build a team of 7 without salaries.
9️⃣ “We haven’t launched yet but our valuation is ~$10M.”
👑 Based on what? Google Sheets projections and VCs in your dreams?
📌 Valuation follows traction. Not vibes.
🔟 “We’ll hit 1M users in 3 months. All organic.”
🦄 Organic? You mean your cousin’s WhatsApp groups?
📉 Reality check: Growth takes effort. Not just optimism and Canva posts.
🙏 I say this with love.
Every founder starts somewhere.
But there's a line between being early and being delusional with confidence.If you’re ready to move from “innocent” to “investable,”
if you’re building something REAL (and not just dreaming in 16:9 aspect ratio)
