Every startup founder envisions a future where their dream soars to the skies, funded and supported by investors who believe in their mission. One morning, I found myself in a hotel room, nestled in the heart of London, overlooking the scenic Tower Bridge. My dream was about to take a significant detour. The 6:45 AM call that informed us of our anticipated funding (which was due that day) wouldn’t be coming through. It was a gut-punch, leaving me with a heavy heart like an elephant perched upon my chest.
