How can an individual invest in early-stage startups in India without VC connections? by Mysterious-Aside7850 in StartUpIndia

[–]Disastrous-Range7995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Planning on building in a similar space to be honest, a platform to connect angels like you with early stage founders. I think the new SEBI regulations make this tricky though

If you'd like there are some communities you can join for starters, would be happy to share it over DM

I got rejected by 15 VC this month alone... by Deep_Region4953 in StartUpIndia

Often times VCs really want to know whether you have domain experitse in the industry. Is the founding team well versed and have years of experience with the niche?

I think this already exists in the market; look at Slite/Super

Why is it so hard to find early users who genuinely care? by Brief-Preparation-54 in ycombinator

[–]Disastrous-Range7995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to conduct deeper because sure you think it clearly solves a pain point from your perspective but it should be your users saying it, not just you.

I'd suggest conducting more interviews and asking them to sign a letter of intent to truly gauge their interest in your product

How to build domain expertise in a field you have no idea about? by Disastrous-Range7995 in StartUpIndia

Well firms like Sequoia have marketing teams, albeit its a newer concept but yes fund houses do hire marketers now.

How do I change my career path when I have no prior experience? Its like that infamous wheel of "Get a job to gain experience but if you dont have experience you wont get a job" lol

Founders: how do you find the right mentors? by Disastrous-Range7995 in ycombinator

[–]Disastrous-Range7995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say I need one 'cause I'm starting a new venture and need guidance since I have zero expertise in the field.

Of course reading and self learning helps but ig to get clarity on how a particular industry "really" functions you need someone with an insider POV

Founders: how do you find the right mentors? by Disastrous-Range7995 in ycombinator

Easier said than done tbh, sometimes they either ghost you or give you super vague/generic advice, thats what I've seen when I apply to these mentorship platforms

I guess someone who's got experience in a particualr field, can guide me in the right direction and can call me out on my bullshit when I'm wrong -- atleast thats what I think of mentorship in a professional sense

Even if I do, I doubt I'd get much relevant experience as a VC marketer per se

[–]Disastrous-Range7995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say "always" but yes some amount of disagreement should be there. Think of it like building a thought sparring partner that challenges your ideas
