I prefer to announce products and technical milestones rather than fundraises.
Lots of deep tech players mostly doing the latter rather than former these days.
Insane that society celebrates massive capital raises, while bootstrappers are unknown

@beffjezos Just ship, dont announce
@beffjezos they long for mommys praise
@beffjezos build it and theyll come

@beffjezos Ship first, raise later. Rare breed
@beffjezos Building in public is way more respectable than just pitching to VCs all day
@beffjezos Like how I finally stopped consuming nicotine and celebrated. Wish you were here.
