Let's get this straight. You've been building for the last 8 months, shipped your MVP, and have solid users. Yet when you start taking meetings...investors aren't interested?
And you often end up with polite passes like, "come back when you have more traction."
Here's what you're getting wrong: You're not showing them the money.
Having users is great. Shipping fast is cool. But investors have seen this before: viral apps with thousands of users that never figured out how to charge them properly.
That's why they're asking different questions now. And most founders aren't ready for it.
Most founder pitches focus on:
Engagement metrics
What features they are shipping next month
Maybe some revenue numbers
What's missing? The answer to one question...
Do people actually want to pay for this? Like, really pay every month.
Often the answer is no.
And it's because there's a huge gap between "people like my product" and "I can build a business from this."

Having users come back is amazing but real PMF means:
Your business model works
Your unit economics make sense (CAC vs. LTV)
It's sustainable long-term
Instead of another long five-year projection, just show them the current version and do it very clearly.
That's it. That's what's getting term sheets right now.
