I was mainly hinting at the following:

“but investors usually know who the entrepreneurs, and major clients and vendors and joint-venture partners“

Not every company/startup is dependent on investors or joint ventures.

Building something and putting it out there. Grow by demand. Get buy offers by your ACTUAL performance, not by some investor money -> PR stunt -> hypetrain -> overestimation.

I don't even mean to attack you. I just get the feeling that the general audience here assumes that an investor is NECESSARY for success

I don't think they did because I read the same thing.
