Deep dives
Startups prioritizing raising money over profit
Many startups today prioritize raising money and attracting investors over generating profit or having a sound business model. The continuous money printing has created an ecosystem where story-telling and attracting retail investors are more important than actual revenues. Startups often focus on growth and raising funds rather than providing value to the market. This trend has led to the rise of companies that operate at a negative value and rely heavily on market buzz and retail investors. The goal is to attract money without necessarily offering a product or service. This dynamic has resulted in several companies with high valuations and little to no profitability.
