We’ll Support You” Is a Half-Truth

THE LEAN LESSON

In a board meeting, an investor told me, “Don’t worry about cash—we’ll support you.

I believed him.

We hired more engineers.

But the revenue didn’t follow, and the runway shrank.

Months later, the same investor disappeared when we needed bridge funding.

His words had no commitment behind them.

Takeaway:

Always get financial support in writing.

Hope is not a funding strategy.
