Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy?
Living in startup land, no chance of stability
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see…
A gaggle of unicorns, but I need no sympathy
Because I pivot then, I pivot now,
My hopes are high, my cash is low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me, to me
Mamma,
Just nailed a sale,
Got the order pinned to my head,
Pulled the deal back from the dead,
Mamma, my startup has just begun,
But yikes, I’ve no cash on my runway
Mamma, oooh,
Didn’t mean to make you cry, I’m pitching all the time
But if I’m not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on, as nothing else really matters
Elon, oooh,
You were lucky with your Tesla idea
Had Ford and GM shaking in fear
Too late, no deals in my pipeline
Sends shivers down my spine
Yet I’m selling all the time
Goodbye everybody, see you at the next networking event
When all my new ideas will have been given away
Elon, oooh,
I don’t want to fail
But I sometimes wish I’d never even started this thing at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
In the deck, in the deck I’ve done a new cashflow
Thunderbolts and lightening, valuation frightening me
Deborah Meaden! Deborah Meaden!
Deborah Meaden! Deborah Meaden!
Tej Llavani – will you do the funding fandango?
I’m just a founder, no one is funding me
He’s just a poor founder with a zero cash runway
Spare him his life from this monstrosity!
In the deck, in the deck I’ve done a new cashflow
Easy come easy go, will you fund me now?
Peter Jones said No! we will not fund you now
(Fund me now!) Meaden and Bartlett? No, we will not fund you now!
(Fund me now!) Touker Suleyman! No, we will not fund you now!
(Fund me now!) We will not fund you now!
(Fund me now!) Never Never fund you now!
(Fund me now!) Never fund you now! (Fund me now) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, fund me now
Beelzebub has a fund put aside for me, for me,
For meee….
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can steal my POC and leave me to die?
Oh baby, can’t do this to me baby
Just gotta get out-just gotta get out right out of here
[Dum-dum dum-dum dum dum Dum-dum dum-dum dum dum]
Nothing really matters
I just want an MVP
Help me with my startup
Any way the cash flows….
