Got rejected by an Indian VC

so yesterday I got rejected by an Indian VC, I was raising a seed round so that I can develop my AI mvp into a fundamental AI product for the future &

the reason I got rejected that was mentioned in the mail was "this is too early for us, let's re connect once the AI product is fully ready"

like I mean bro, you took two weeks to review the pitch deck and then you had a 1.5 hours call and then you decided after taking 3 days that you will invest after the product is fully ready. you knew that I am raising funds to develop my core product, still you decided to waste my time.

if you have a risk appetite of a ten year old, you should close your VC firm and start an FD instead.

I Am slowly losing hope in Indian VCs, will start targeting US based vcs and accelerators who might actually value innovation.
