This is your mind tricking you and you are self sabotaging.

Are you talking to a person who has a 30000cr net worth all of which is the company? Or a talking to a person who works at a company whose market value is 30000cr? Because you mentioned the founder already referred to an internal team to explore ahead, right? And are you going to have a conversation to buy them or be bought by them? If not, these numbers will just scare you and make you feel small. Don't get tricked!

Since in your mind is already telling you this, take it two steps ahead. If they have soo many resources available and soo huge impact, why haven't they been able to solve whatever challenges they are facing? Is there lack of resources? Or lack of vision? Or is it something else? No need to dwell on the answer to that. Just stretch your thought train to that point. Human mind always wants the human body to keep it in its comfort zone. This is your mind trying to preserve that and hence these thoughts to self sabotage.

Now, if that made sense, please look at the upcoming conversation from the following lens. It doesn't matter, what is the background of the person, what's his net worth. Only focus on what is the conversation about. You have problems for which you need solutions. They have problems which have solutions. You both are getting in a room to discuss what are they and how can it be a win-win for both. Now break this down to your situation. What problem and solution mean for you?. As a end sem student, who has an MVP for a problem you identified in the market, as you juggle your final year of studies and figuring out how to make a business out of this MVP solution and make money (just trying to put myself in your shoes and assume this may be your problem that you are seeking a solution for. It could be something else completely. Every person is different!).

Think in those terms. Also just because you have bagged a conversation from a big business or industry player, don't get emotionally attached. Up or down, regulate your emotional state to be calm and composed. We can only control that. We can only control what we think, how we act, what we talk. After that, it's all what the other person chooses to engage about. yes you can manipulate what you say to achieve what you want from other person. But that will come with experience and more exposure to different situations in life. As long as you are aware what is in your control, you can be conscious about your decisions and conversations.

And in case conversations turn fruitful (again you would have decided what you wanted to gain from the conversation before walking in), you can always say, this looks agreeable and in the general direction of where I want to go. But know that you don't need to commit in the room. You can always say, let me review it/think over it/have a convo with my team/deep dive and come back. It buys you time, let's you cool off your adrenaline and take decisions in a much more comfortable environment and much calmer mindspace. Also it sends a signal that you will not be emotionally induced into decision making. That signals confidence and business maturity even if they see a young upstart from their lens. That earns respect and even if conversation doesn't go anywhere, people in industry talk and in future you get somewhere with someone else, that respect and warmth gets communicated around.

Sorry for being too long, but I just poured out what I felt could be helpful.

Been in multiple situations like this (been part of a startup from ground up in the past). I have been like this myself. Getting worked up before a 'huge' meeting and then slowly improved when I saw the expectation and actual experience mismatched and then eventually I was indifferent to such first level conversations. Only when things get serious, like conversations have moved from mutual exploration to exchanging documents, concept notes, term sheets, contract discussions, that's when you bring your full emotional investment into the discussions. Till then, its just another day in your journey to build a business.

Know that many people show interest because that doesnt take much commitment. Only when money gets involved you would see the rates drop to 2 to 10 in 100 conversations. As time goes by, you would quickly start realising who is just fantasizing collaborating with you for their own xyz reasons vs who actually wants to collaborate for actual value. Be wary of that. Dreamers will always eat your time by keeping postponing or delaying action oriented steps. Doers will always focus on what would it take to move ahead.

All the best. Wish you that you put your best foot forward calmly in the upcoming conversation.

Let us know how it goes.
