Truth Ventures CEO: Investors should not judge seed start-ups as income

True Ventures CEO Varun Datta stated that investors should not require seed phase companies to have sustained income. He noted that Rootdata listed 99 encrypted projects that were closed, bankrupt or chronically inactive in 2026 and stressed that the total number of such projects should not be considered as 99 bankruptcy cases. Datta believes that the market shuffles are obvious, but the lessons learned are applied mainly to mature companies, and it is unfair to expect new teams to demonstrate sustained income. Investors should focus on a deep understanding of the problem by the founders rather than on income data that may not exist。
