Questions
What does raise mean in this version of the saying?
It means raising investment for a startup. The familiar confidence slogan becomes a funding-room joke about presenting an ambitious company before all of its plans have become reality.
Is the printed line encouraging false investor claims?
It is a satire of fundraising performance, not advice to misrepresent a business. The intended humor is recognizing the distance between a polished pitch and work still in progress.
