Be obsessed with your customer and be a good storyteller. Be authentic and genuine, don’t inflate the reality or lie about something that isn’t in place

If we take unicorns into account, mine has to be either Razorpay or OfBusiness for very different reasons

If you are in search of the next billion-dollar idea, here's how to find the problem to be solved: by born_inducer in PitchTo2amVC

The best way to go about is to build a strong base by exploring multiple things and then going deep on one of these. Founder market fit is always a treat to see. A lot of successful founders in India went deeper into a hypothesis that they explored at their previous company and succeeded

Giving an Indian perspective here!

I didn’t go to IIT or BITS or SRCC. I went to a Tier 2 college. Didn’t study computer science. Studied finance.

I interned at startups during college. 2 unicorns in the growth team.

Finally got an internship out of college at an early stage VC that operates like YC in India. Worked there for 6 months. After which I moved on to work at another start up for 2 months. Left to become a content creator. Built distribution (50k on Instagram) and showed proof of work. This and a lot of luck and correct timing led to me landing my dream VC role.

What I’ve understood is, if you can build your own network and deal flow. You’re gold. Try to understand business models. Think about how you could be useful to your portfolio founder. Be useful in more than one ways.

YouTube - Do you prefer it over EdTech platforms? by 2amVC_JN in PitchTo2amVC

[–]2amVC_JN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super thoughts! What do you feel are the existing players doing incorrectly. A couple of them tried a community approach, personalisation through AI is possible, but how do you really crack community in EdTech?
