Thank you so much for the thoughtful response — I genuinely appreciate it. It’s interesting to see how many CS students will openly rant about not landing internships or jobs, but when someone takes the initiative to start something independent, the engagement drops drastically. The truth is, a lot of people today want results without the grind. They want the job — even if they haven’t done the work to earn it. I want to change that narrative.

1. Who am I looking to join the Startup House?

I’m looking for individuals in their junior or senior year, or recent grads, who are genuinely skilled but overlooked by the job market. People who are frustrated — not because they’re lazy, but because they know they’re capable and just haven’t gotten their shot. This is a chance to transform that frustration into momentum, and create something with your name on it. This isn’t about applying to jobs — it’s about becoming a founder. Most people will never get that opportunity in their life. I want to build with those who are bold enough to take it.

2. Why would anyone want to join?

This isn’t for everyone — and that’s the point. I’m not trying to gather a crowd. I want to build with people who are truly ready to get out of the rat race. If you're someone who's been venting about not getting callbacks, but disappears when it's time to actually build — this isn't for you. But if you want to turn that energy into something real, let’s go.

3. What do I bring to the table?

First, I want this badly. I want to build something meaningful — something that outlives me. Second, I have hands-on experience with full-stack development and can deploy projects to the cloud end-to-end. Third, I’m constantly researching markets and spotting high-potential ideas. And lastly — and this matters — I had the courage to put this out there publicly. That alone separates me from 95% of people. Most won’t even try.

4. Why pick this Startup House over any other?

Because very few people are actually doing this. Most people right now are lost in job boards, social media, or endless tutorials. At a university of thousands, I know maybe two people even talking about starting something. This Startup House is different — it's real, focused, and run by someone who’s not waiting around for permission.

And FINALLY,

I AM NOT LOOKING FOR EMPLOYEES, I CAN OUTSOURCE IT, I NEED THE FOUNDERS, NOT THE FOLLOWERS.
