The tricky thing about startup success is it doesn’t happen in a straight line. Look at Amazon, look at Etsy — hell — look at Apple, and compare what those companies are today with what they were at their startup stage. You probably wouldn’t have put much faith into those early companies.

If an investor has passed on investing in your startup, it’s probably for one of these reasons: Your startup isn’t investable. Your business doesn’t fit their investment thesis. There’s only so much room in their portfolio.

If you want customers, focus on useful over flash. I just launched the most boring MVP of my career. Admittedly, it was boring on purpose, but even I was shocked at how vanilla the results were.
