What do you think actually breaks startup fundraising in 2026? 💸

🔥 Hot take from NFX Venture Fund: fundraising is broken because of... Endless forms.

Not because you don't know the right people.
Not because you lack warm intros.
Just. The. Forms.

Here's how they put it themselves:
"Fundraising is broken. Endless forms, vague timelines, ghosted follow-ups." (This I got in my mailbox.)

Great. So they built the antidote.

You can apply if you're a Harvard, MIT, Berkeley, or Stanford student.
Or a woman in HealthTech.

No more broken fundraising! The short form is now available...
to a very specific group of people.

If you think the real bottleneck is something else, you are not alone...
