He Raised $21M. Then Ignored 100+ VCs.

Pukar C. Hamal might be one of the most dangerous men in tech.

An AI founder who raised $21M from Craft Ventures...

Then completely IGNORED 100+ VCs begging for follow-on rounds.

Because he did what every VC fears most:

He became profitable.

- Landed 6 and 7-figure deals with OpenAI, Grammarly, Airtable
- Built a 24/7 AI + human hybrid in "Silicon Peaks" (aka Kathmandu)
- Turned down interest from HUNDREDS of VCs
- Last valuation: $105M

And he isn't alone.

Surge AI bootstrapped to $1B+ ARR while Scale AI burned hundreds of millions.

BrightAI hit $80M revenue before taking a SINGLE outside dollar.

Welcome to "seed-strapping."

Raise ONE seed round, sprint to profitability in 12-18 months, skip Series A entirely and keep 80%+ equity.

Tomorrow on Unf*ck My Startup, Pukra (CEO of SecurityPal AI) is joining me to talk about this new model and how they used AI to solve the bane of every founder and salespersons' existence: the security questionnaire.
