Raised 4.6m and your tagline is still “cursor for hardware” and the site looks fully vibecoded, when do we start snitching to the LPs
sam@SamuelBeek
Still need to pinch myself sometimes: We’ve raised $4.600.000 pre-seed with Schematik. It's time to make hardware less hard :)

India is a $4T economy. China is $20T.
India spends $12B on education, China spends $800B.
There's simply no comparison.
Powerful insight by Vijay Kedia ji.

@compliantvc Isn’t this the literal gap between Europe and America and why one place funds the other
English
Just spoke with dozens of European VCs
They all agreed: AI is over
No one is putting money into AI startups anymore
OpenAI is likely going bankrupt
I asked what the next big thing is
They all answered in unison:
Regulation.
And the hot spot for the best regulations?
Europe.
Meanwhile, America is getting left behind

Most VC feedback is not valuable because it's rarely geniune.
Investors give a generic, well-rounded reason to pass. "It's not you, it's me" kind of thing. It's nice, low effort, and everyone moves on.
In my own case, I sometimes gave in-depth, detailed feedback and the founder started arguing back and forth on each point as if trying to prove me wrong.
Waste of time, waste of energy.
Just take the feedback, move on, and do your best.
