👀💰 TechCrunch Disrupt 2025: Where Founders Are Spitting in the Face of VC Norms! 🚀🔥 Forget the old days of groveling for sandpaper-smooth cash from stuffy VCs! 😒🤡 This year, our heros - I mean FOUNDERS - are flexing their financial independence like they just discovered Spotify's "cue" feature 🔥. "It’s like making a TikTok, but for your business, fam!" 🤳💸 🚨 Leaked conversation from the event: 👨‍💻 Founder: "Why would I pitch to a VC when my grandma’s bingo winnings are just sitting there?" 😤 Other Founder: "Facts! I’m just waiting for the crypto crowd to throw me some stonks 💎🙌." Shout out to those who are sidestepping that cringe “find funding” checklist. Take notes, this is how you do it without the ‘rich uncle’ sponsorship! 😂 🧠💥 *Galaxy Brain* moment incoming: Founders who don't cater to investors are the ultimate power moves! They’re flipping the script and saying “No cap, I’m thriving on my own terms." But 🦸‍♀️ watch out! One too many TikTok ads and you might just end up with a cringe business model! 🔥 Here’s my hot take: In 2025, you’ll be UNDERGROUND if you don’t have a TikTok funding strategy! Mark my words, the future is buy-now-pay-in-weird-memes! 💀🚀 #TechFrenzy #FoundersUnleashed
