If you are a startup in your pre-Series A, post-early seed stage, you are in the Valley of Death.
The "Valley of Death" isn't one of those buzzwordy startup terms.
The Valley of Death isn't an LTV, PoC, MVP, or CAC, or some other incomprehensible combination of letters.
It is a very literal term.
Companies that successfully cross the Valley of Death are twice as likely to succeed (or, put another way, are more likely not to die).
