It is a poker game for investors, they just hope for the best when they invest in a young startup. That 1% is the lucky lotto winners that get funded. You should work to build a sustainable business not to win the lottery. Take in consideration that sometimes getting funded can ruin your company, you have to be careful of what you wish. Perhaps you only need a seed round that can be borrowed from a bank or an uncle ;)
