To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“Honestly speaking, we added the word 'algorithm' to our pitch deck seven times without changing anything about our product, and our Series A valuation jumped from $12M to $40M. Same Excel spreadsheet, same three engineers, same copied Shopify plugin. Different buzzword. That's when I realized venture capital is just expensive improv theater.”
