My startup is yet to make a profit. Can we still raise money?

Yes, many pre-revenue and early-stage startups raise funds. It’s less about current profitability and more about your venture’s future economic potential. Startups with a clear, scalable unit-economic model can present a strong case for investment. Focus on refining these aspects, and consider trial pitches to gather feedback from potential investors.
