Startup founders demand investment guarantees from backers

Original: Сегодня провёл разговоры с авторами последних проектов, которые прислали нам заявки. Двое из них удивили: авторы требуют

An investor reviewing startup applications says he held calls with project authors and was surprised that two of them demanded guarantees they would receive investment before proceeding. He mocks the idea, comparing it to a world where any service comes with a guaranteed result, like car sellers guaranteeing a sale. The anecdote has drawn attention as an example of unrealistic founder expectations in early-stage fundraising.

Why now: Founders demanding guaranteed funding strikes readers as an absurd inversion of how startup investment works.
