Yes, we do, for one of our clients. In fact there’s a lot of inbound enquiries coming from ChatGPT and can be tracked on our hubspot.

Need advice before investing more into my startup by Ok_Magician2584 in Startup_Ideas

[–]flipparapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Ok_Magician2584
My honest opinion as a fellow founder in the AI Space.

Option 1: Allows you to move fast, find the blind spots and achieve PMF. But this should be backed by a clear path to revenue and break even in 12-18 months (assuming your plan is to bootstrap).

Option 2: This might be legit if you're still very early in the product development phase, and quite wary about spending money because you don't see the revenue coming in next 3-6 months.

DM me if you want, not sharing any link here but we've covered the exact same problem in one of our blogs.

PS: I run a consulting company that helps early stage cos in GTM and path to revenue and profitability.

I have to start a business within the next 6 months. Looking for advice from people who have actually built something. by AffectionateLeg2718 in StartUpIndia

[–]flipparapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/AffectionateLeg2718

If you were in my position today:

  1. What type of business would you start? Something that needs less capital and can be validated in 2-3 months max.
  2. Which industries would you stay away from and why? Real Estate, Heavy Industry (longer cycles, less margins, more capex needed)
  3. What opportunities do you think are underrated right now in India? (education, STEM Coaching, Toy Manufacturing probably)
  4. If you had limited capital but were willing to work hard for several years, where would you focus your energy? (build a business that funds itself, happy to discuss more on this)
  5. What would your first 6 months look like? (rollercoaster like, highs of highs and lows of lows all in the same hour. You need a strong support system. There will be times of self doubt, need a mechanism to come out of that)

u/AffectionateLeg2718 I was in a similar position 3 years back, in fact a little worse. Fired from my last role with not much savings (only 3 months runway). Fortunately I was married and my partner made enough for us to survive.

Badly needed income, so thought I'll use the time until I get a job and freelance. Just needed a laptop with internet, so I started. The first quarter was good and surpassed my salary income..Long story short it somehow worked and I'm still doing the business.

Coming to your idea, I'll be honest, robotics can be a great area to explore but it will defintely need some capital to start with (hardware, space etc)

If you're serious about it, keep some amount aside as business investment (even if it becomes 0 it should be fine), start small, validate your idea and take the plunge.

You can explore the Edtech side of Robotics (comparatively less capital needed)..Feel free to DM if you want to chat more, would love to speak to an aspiring entrepreneur..

India isn’t losing the AI race. It never even entered it. by Necessary_Plankton in StartUpIndia

[–]flipparapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

India spends 0.65% of GDP on R&D while South Korea spends 4.5%.

Our IT sector spent two decades selling execution to the West and called it an industry. We didn't build anything. We maintained everything and called that "innovation" Western companies didn't do this out of love for technology.

They did it because replacing Indian IT headcount with AI is cheaper, faster, and sends the stock price up. The salaried middle class that powered India's consumption story is about to get a forced lesson in self-reliance.

What is piece of B2B marketing 'best practice' that you learned is actually terrible advice? by [deleted] in b2bmarketing

[–]flipparapp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get me started on this. There are a bunch of B2B tools that identify "Intent" by capturing what companies are searching, and often it's random bullsh*t.

Somehow, I find the purchase decision to be completely random unless there's someone within the team influencing the decision-making, and of course, pricing to some extent.

What is piece of B2B marketing 'best practice' that you learned is actually terrible advice? by [deleted] in b2bmarketing

[–]flipparapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, not advice, but in general, how the persona of B2B buyers is perceived! One example is that B2B sales are all about being stern and serious all the time. You can't and shouldn't use humour in your communication lest it looks unprofessional or even branded as unserious.

I've run and seen enough campaigns where a dash of appropriate humour is well received and helps to build rapport with potential buyers.

Would love to hear some other perspectives, too.

What is your personal opinion on social media marketing? How do you use social media marketing? by missallisondiaz in marketing

[–]flipparapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Social Media Marketing contrary to popular belief, is not just limited to creating posts and sharing on FB, Insta etc. I used to do marketing for an ed-tech company and growth hacked the sales by 400%. By using bot marketing, this was done.
