@Austen This will be a scene in the new Silicon Valley reboot
@Austen Didn’t a similar story to this happen recently? Like how fucking hard is it to call up Meta to confirm the details of this!
@Austen Awkward indeed! The power of storytelling in fundraising can be surprising.
@Austen @TurnerNovak I founded this small fruit company. It’s called Apple. You might have heard of it 😤. Now I’m starting this AI company. Yeah, we’re putting AI on blockchain. Investors, Send me your pitch deck so I can pick which one of you are competent to give me money.
@Austen 5 funding rounds only one declared investor. Something doesn't add up!?
@Austen I'd be a very humble con artist, 1 million would be plenty
