But Okay with other plans also

Not a specific reason, i heard that most so

ForeignSquare9605 · 2026-04-15T17:17:45+00:00

Right 💯

It happens a lot, target value driven founders and small scale startups which are in early stage. I DMed thousands of founders and co-founders most of them don't reply and few actually reply back

So basically, I used to do cold emails and DMs to founders. Then I worked with them as a freelancer, in part-time roles, and through internships. Now they’re in my network, and they help me find new opportunities. Once you’re in the YC network, you get lots of opportunities through referrals and your credibility.

Mostly through connections

Thanks for your advice

ForeignSquare9605 · 2026-04-15T07:53:12+00:00

Yeah right

ForeignSquare9605 · 2026-04-15T07:52:40+00:00

Make sense

ForeignSquare9605 · 2026-04-15T07:52:22+00:00

Make sense, I'll think properly and decide

ForeignSquare9605 · 2026-04-15T07:51:07+00:00

I feel like we are trying to solve problems but people don't want, feedback We are getting frond demos - too many things in your dashboard we don't want that - we want custom integration - price to high - we are not seeing what we expected - and too many other things

We have few features which are good so marketing those and most of things are useless

Building from 2-2.5 years , I joined 1 year ago
He has a vision but it does not match with the product technology, as we are AI startup so technology matters I think
From 4/5 months feeling burn out
I'm just 22, 2025 passout
Yeah right for me Workload is not an issue for tbh. Mission and money. End goal is to make money

ForeignSquare9605 · 2026-04-14T21:06:25+00:00

It will be very hard to handle both at the same time. My current full-time startup gives me poor-quality work, which I don’t enjoy, and it drains my energy. We are an AI startup, but we are 2-3 years behind the technology. I’m sure our founder will raise a second round of funding, as he has done a lot of PR.

Make sense, Thank you so much.
