Founders’ Nightmares Every deep-tech founder has a hidden fear. This Halloween, we’re revealing them as movie posters… Nightmare #1 — “The Selected… But No Funds” You get a Phase II letter, an SBIR/STTR award, DoD or NSF acceptance notice. And then… no Funds. 😱 Poster Inspired by The Shining (1980) Nightmare #2 — “The Evil Deck” You open PowerPoint for a quick edit. Fonts disappear, layouts shift, and images fail to load on your 200-slide Seed Deck. 🧟 Poster Inspired by The Evil Dead (1981) Nightmare #3 — “The Sixth Meeting” After five meetings and a handshake, the investor disappears 👻. No emails. No calls. No term sheet. Ever. Poster Inspired by The Sixth Sense (1999) Founders, deep-tech dreamers, and anyone who’s lived through endless decks, ghosted investors, or delayed grants — we see you 👁️ 👁 #Startups #SpaceTech #Halloween #FounderLife #SpaceIndustry #OOTWD
