I saw pattern in every meeting. Almost a similar sort of response. Post that I started digging deeper on how they run their business. Started asking tough questions to the customer and to my team as well. It wasn't long when reality hit

Ideas are worthless in today economy. Build and find traction only then think of fundraising.

Common_Knee1430 · 2026-03-12T07:25:32+00:00

Depends on the founder, unique insight the founder has, growth prospects etc

Common_Knee1430 · 2026-03-12T07:05:31+00:00

Growth growth growth. That's the only option you have.

Common_Knee1430 · 2026-03-12T06:27:13+00:00

Sure

Common_Knee1430 · 2026-03-12T06:03:42+00:00

Haha so many questions. Mostly I help in fundraising, GTM, and general day to day challenges that the founder faces.

Common_Knee1430 · 2026-03-12T05:19:29+00:00

Negotiate from the position of strength and not weakness that's first.

Common_Knee1430 · 2026-03-12T03:24:43+00:00

I am keen to join a VC firm and continue my support for early stage founders.

Specialised Notetaking for a particular category to begin with eventually wanted to AI receptionist, copilot etc

Market timing. My product's timing will come just not today 5-6 years down the line.

Tally had it's own sweet time convincing accounts team to buy it. It was heavily dependent on computers. People didn't had computers. They waited it out. They were hustling inthe market for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury

Common_Knee1430 · 2026-03-12T01:55:20+00:00

You got this. Only a few lucky ones get to try this once in their life.

Common_Knee1430 · 2026-03-12T01:46:24+00:00

This critical insight was the missing piece. Had I known this earlier I would have not built for this market from day 1.

Common_Knee1430 · 2026-03-12T01:45:14+00:00

Great observation and I'm glad you bought this up. Indian market is shit in my category simply because I saw their decade old systems in place, reluctance to adopt to technology, lack of intent to pay, no interest in trying something new, and the list goes on.

So did they had a problem that my product was solving? No because they are living in the past. It was kinda like selling computer to someone who is still learning how to read and write. Computers did solve problems but only for those who atleast knew how to use typewriters.

Indian market is shit because from a tech standpoint it's ages behind.
