I changed one thing and suddenly funding made sense for absolute beginners

I tried this in Mexico City with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Startups feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. This is more useful on a tired late summer than on a perfect day.

Fair pushback.

I found this disappointing because it skips the hardest part. I would write it down before changing anything else.

The vibe here is immaculate. I am curious whether founders still feels good next month.
