Absolutely true. I'll add that THREE paragraphs start with "calling my VC friends", which factors in heavily on how "easy" it was to raise.

This is some "the rest of the owl" material for sure.

It should hopefully be obvious that you should befriend rich people if you think you will need access to capital in the future.

How to raise a seed round:

1. Become a professor in CS at Harvard. Achieve big career successes in prestigious technology companies. Build a network of SV founders and VCs.

2. Raise the f*king seed round.

Or…, and possibly easier: make that much money yourself and seed yourself

yeah I don't really have any VC friends :( nor a prestigious pedigree :(

Guessing both are big factors in how easy it is to raise funds as a first time founder.
