My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:

Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

A YC startup in the middle of fundraising found a way to cut their costs by 2/3. Now they don't need to raise at all. They can make it to profitability on the money they already have. Bet you can guess what will happen when they tell investors they're shutting down the raise.

Though bad investors sometimes cut back dramatically in bad markets, good investors keep investing. They know how terribly dangerous it would be to stop. What if they miss the Google? So don't be deterred from starting a startup because you worry it will be hard to get funding.
