European Founders Fundraising in the USA
November 25, 2025
Today, we’re talking about European startups pursuing US investors for their seed round. I meet a lot of startups doing this and I can completely understand why it’s an attractive strategy.n
Today we’re talking about whether or not to fundraise. Just because you can fundraise, doesn’t mean you should.
Even if investors are desperately trying to invest in your company, remember investors are not the same as customers. That capital does not automatically mean growth. In fact, any fundraising process is a huge distraction from customers and growth.
If you have 1 year or more worth of cash, then focusing on your business is almost always a better use of your time than talking to potential investors.
