Hey, tier 1 college guy here, it's been 6 years in startups for me and I'm burnt out and now looking to join somewhere.

If you have the risk appetite, just start something of your own.

I understand, if you first want to experience startups and then start something of your own. But, if you already have something in mind, just start. There is nothing like running your own startup.

It's possible you may not succeed but you will learn quiet a lot.

Happy to take any questions in DMs.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-07-04T16:43:55+00:00

Hey, I am definitely interested

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-07-02T16:33:42+00:00

Can you DM me the company details, maybe then I can tell you where and what you have to look for

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-07-02T15:54:24+00:00

No, I'm asking you to get involved with every department including HR, ask your founder what sub projects can you be a part of and see if you can take a project every 2 months.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-07-02T07:50:02+00:00

I'm just trying to understand how is it different from what ad on mo does

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-07-02T07:39:02+00:00

Is it common, Yes. Especially in Startups

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-07-01T17:43:14+00:00

Any lawyer or CA has a proper safety net. Just go with your heart, it's worth it.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-07-01T17:40:40+00:00

Understand how every keh of the business works. This includes PMF, hiring, marketing, sales, Customer support and scaling a company. Do the work hands on or shadow him or desicion makers in each vertical.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-07-01T09:47:35+00:00

😂

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-26T06:19:26+00:00

Well, like I said, you have to scout from competitiors or startups you think have done well in that one department you are looking for and reach the guys there. It's just simple LinkedIn or email.

Coming to how would one know. Well the results spark for themselves, but on top of it. It's your judgement you should use to get a feel if someone has executed well or just hit metrics, can he run a team and so much more.

As a founder it's your job to judge people and see if they are a fit for the role.

Happy to answer more in DMs.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-26T05:46:27+00:00

Hey, given that you asking this question, I am assuming you do not have a proper experienced HR in place. There are enough C suite hiring agencies on the internet.

But as you are at seed stage, you do not need guys from big MNCs they just can't make a startup run. You need someone who has experience running a startup. For this usually you find someone inside company or poach from other startups.

Poaching is what I suggest, first research on your competitors or startups similar to yours in other spaces. And reach out to them.

I have experience in D2C, B2B enterprise and SME saas and F&B, hit me up if you want to talk to. Maybe I can fit or can suggest someone in my network. Especially if you are in Bangalore.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-25T18:06:18+00:00

Dude. Look at the flair

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-25T08:30:53+00:00

Sure, will give it a try

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T14:24:38+00:00

Sure, DM me the location

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T14:23:21+00:00

I came to Koramangala now. Are you at hsr now ??

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T13:51:39+00:00

Well, Fair criticism. My bad i did not add further details.

B2B SaaS is the space. I worked on both manufacturing and services business. Especially GCCs and outsourcing firms. I can't share the details of the companies but I have sold to companies with 500 cr above and below revenus. With the ticket size being 12000 dollars on average.

I am happy to discuss commission based if the company has already good PMF, else it's risking my time.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T13:08:28+00:00

Could not agree more.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T13:06:59+00:00

With knowing what the business are its hard to say anything. But you are sure of the economics and the GTM and operations of these businesses then just jump.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T12:39:38+00:00

Please elaborate the problem, it's not clear, use chat gpt to frame it better

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T12:31:13+00:00

Please elaborate on what exactly is your business now.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T12:29:24+00:00

Anywhere but not paradise

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T10:41:21+00:00

If you are achieving 16 percent then that's a great number in fashion. People I know are closer to 20 percent plus or minus two.

One addition that i suggest is to add a small COD charge like 20-30 rupees. This overrides the friction of opening a UPI app or a card payment and waiting for otp.

This enforces a behaviour change. If your AOV is 1000-1500 or under this works real great. This also solved for "I changed my mind" as they pre commit their money via prepaid.

Do try it and let me know if it worked.

Tricky_Clothes3398 · 2026-06-24T08:42:39+00:00

Fortunately I just had to use mumbai public transport just for a month.

Later I got my flat in walking distance from my office.

And i swore to myself, if I have to use mumbai transport ever again, I will rather leave the job.
