40+ Rejections
Later: How We
Finally Raised
Our Seed
Round
|
|
Raising
nearly $50M
for beehiiv
across 4
rounds—each
with its own
wild story.
|
|
Let’s set the
record straight:
raising money
isn’t an
achievement; it’s
just a means to an
end. Look at Bench
Accounting—$100M
raised, only to
shut down over the
holidays before a
last-minute
acquisition.
Funding doesn’t
mean
success.

Back in 2021, my
cofounders (23)
and I (26)
couldn’t afford to
bootstrap. We
moonlighted
beehiiv for a year
before realizing
we were letting a
massive
opportunity slip.
So, I set one
goal: raise enough to
quit our jobs
and go all
in.
|
|
That summer, I
was in
Venice—standing at
a makeshift desk
(aka a stack of
books)—pitching
investors all day. 40+ rejections
later, we finally got
a yes. We had no
product, no
revenue, no
customers… but
belief.

Want to
understand what
it really takes
to raise
funding?
From 40+
rejections to
securing millions,
every round had
its own challenges
and lessons.

We hope these resources give you
the boost you need to power your
startup this week.
