Definitely not. I've got kids and was only able to quit my job and start working full time as CTO of my startup after we raised seed funding. That being said, an A,B, and C round is different. Seed should give you enough runway to see if your initial idea gets product market fit. Future funding is fuel for the rocket ship. It lets you see if you can scale up sales and marketing around the product.

Did you have a market fit before taking the funding?

Good question. I have the feeling most don't even have problem/solution fit and get money...

Agree. Not much sense in "scaling up sales" if there isn't a fit.
