Hah, your mistake is thinking that startup is about building tech. Maybe years ago. Startup is about building a startup, your goal is to do what you need to do to get funded and that is often not building an amazing tech. The fancier your tech the more you come across like a hardcore nerd with no business acumen. This is what the capital owners often think when they come across your type. If you were so smart, why would you waste all that effort building it instead of raising money or getting other people to build it? If your tech is so great, why don't you have bazillion users? Hope you begin to see what you are doing wrong, stop building and optimize for raising money, not users, not more features.

While this may be the case, it’s everything wrong with business today.
This is so weird, lol. I got the exact opposite advice keep building, and I kept building.
The Show HN didn't go well https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49712720 I'm also unable to open the website (timeout).
Yeah, I corrected all the mistakes there. Are you sure, you can't open it? I have more than 10k visitors
Be confident and pitch unsophisticated fund managers.
I did. The feedback was basically why are you doing this? I said I think so I can scale these models, efficiency and or make a lab of my own
Don’t stop pitching until you’re funded. Every time you pitch should be better than your last. Wishing you funding.
Yes I will keep pitching Thanks for your wishes
