Stop Fundraising and Start Building

In this episode of Your Startup Community, Chris Heivly challenges one of the most deeply held beliefs in startup culture: that raising capital is the same as building a company.
Drawing from his recent Raleigh Durham Startup Week, where over 2,700 founders and community builders gathered, Chris unpacks why the answer founders give about what is blocking their progress reveals a much deeper problem.
Capital matters. But capital is not a strategy. And when founders and community leaders treat funding as the finish line, they risk skipping the harder, more important work.
Because the goal is not a community full of funded startups. It is a community full of durable companies.
