I think people under estimate how difficult it is to raise money from VCs.

I a currently trying to raise my first round but it is so difficult.

I sent close to 100 pitches & all of them have passed on the investment.

VCs normally say the only invest in business that are referred to them by people they already know.

I am starting to believe that may apply to all of them.

Maybe you should listen to their advice? Why not take a targeted approach and focus on getting referrals
