It’s true that many investors don’t understand the Value Prop Story test, and evaluate based on other signals such as impressive-sounding features and technologies.
But I don’t think this needs to be a source of conflict for you. If you build a startup that’s actually good, and passes the Value Prop Story test, then you’ll get traction and revenues, and those signals on average attract investors even more than impressive-sounding features and technologies.
Thanks, I got some value out of your comment :)
