Wtf is a “pre-seed founder”?
I’m stalwart enough in my leftism that anything that corpos love makes me question it immediately. I’ve nothing inherent against immigrants/refugees who come here through the (very flawed) process or even those who don’t but come here, integrate, and then contribute/participate positively within the communities they immigrate to.
However, the H1B shit just seems to a) exploit minorities/immigrants while holding their visa over their head (dems shouldn’t like this based on their principles) while b) outsources jobs that could likely be given to existing, qualified citizens (republicans shouldn’t this based on their principles), c) all to ultimately benefit a corporation’s quarterly earnings.
I dislike Trump as much as the next guy but I don’t currently have an issue with him obliterating the H1B program.
Preseeding is making a new product, this is before / to get funding.
A shitposter of capitalism with an idea and nothing else in other words.
Basically yeah. But when it comes to startups, actually making something of value is optional. Hell, I know people who have had legitimately good ideas with working proof of concept, but have struggled to get funding because when it comes to venture capital, the main test is one's ability to peddle the right kind of bullshit.
A pre-seed founder is like precum. It doesn’t amount to anything worthwhile to show for
Until it does ...
