I kinda disagree, but it depends on the product&#x2F;market. You can&#x27;t pre-sell a nuclear fusion reactor before it&#x27;s built (I&#x27;ll bundle that with my swampland in Florida!) but there are ways to generate meaningful traction through list-building, pre-launch sales, commitments, etc. for SaaS apps that you could use to raise money. And frankly, that&#x27;s what an entrepreneur should be doing in the first place <i>to validate</i> that you <i>should</i> be building that product for the target audience in the first place or that there is a market for your product. And you can always strip down your MVP to <i>it&#x27;s absolute core</i> to get it out the door faster so you don&#x27;t spend 6 months building it.
