What an amazing founding story @rabi_eva @tryevabot - Rabi pretended to be his own robot assistant to learn what customers wanted as gifts. #HustleDay2021

My business partner @ericbahn was unable to raise VC money. One day he walked into Chase and secured a $250k loan.
Was just thinking: no one wrote a Techcrunch article about that. Business was usual.
But somehow we celebrate VC raises. Why is that?

This! I think many ppl think "debt is bad" - and it can be - but if you understand how to put $1 in to get $1.01 out, debt is way cheaper than equity.

Some uses of capital are clear money machines: $1 in = >$1 out.
Buy inventory, sell it = money machine
Buy FB ads, payback in 3 months = money machine
It’s a question of certainty of quantity + timing of reruns and repeatability.

"Female-led startups in a program (accelerators) increase the amount of debt they raise by nearly 2.5 times as much as female-led startups that did not participate in a program."
