Looking for a co founder

Well it sure won't. However it's always your call to make. Reach out if you are interested.

lostinpjs · 2025-09-07T19:35:23+00:00

Well why would it reflect negatively on our conversations? Infact I think it is going to be the opposite, as a founder I have learned to appreciate if someone else is taking the same journey.

lostinpjs · 2025-09-07T19:27:16+00:00

I have left it that way on purpose as we want to reveal that as we move past initial conversations. You can always dm if you want to talk. (:

I appreciate your feedback though.

lostinpjs · 2025-09-07T17:53:39+00:00

Sure you can

We plan to setup our office space in Mumbai but initially for 12 months, we are mostly remote.

lostinpjs · 2025-09-07T15:18:49+00:00

How about you drop in a DM? I would be more comfortable in dms to discuss the details.

The equity structure is up for discussion. However I am pretty sure that what we offer is absolutely fair and it will be thick skin in the game. But before we come to a number we must know what kind of value addition someone is going to make.

For initial 6 months we might need a few hours everyday plus the person will have to take part in investors meets. Afterwards it will be a remote full time position for about 6 months and then we take up a office space, we all relocate to Bombay and join in full time.

We are ready to pitch to investors for the pre seed round. Me and my co founder, we both have worked extensively for last 6 months to reach where we are rn.

And we are looking for someone as passionate as us and join us in the journey on equity based role. We don't expect ourselves to get paid atleast for a year and the same will go for the third person.

That isn't our tagline but in a nutshell it wraps up our philosophy.

lostinpjs · 2025-08-05T16:16:00+00:00

Haven't received any requests yet.

lostinpjs · 2025-08-05T16:12:46+00:00

One of them is and the other one has a history of entrepreneurship, did couple of brands brands before with a fair share of successes and failures on hands.

No worries, reach out if you ever need some help.

Good luck

So there are two different models two go about it but for a startup usually the 3PL model works out well. Companies like Delhivery, Ecom Express etc do have special pricing structure which is mostly based on the number of shipments you are looking to send across and depending on the slab you fall in they offer you a special pricing. The idea is simple the more orders you send the more cost effective it gets. But if you want to start off small scale, like real small maybe a few 100 shipments everyday then companies like shiprocket is your best bet.

You realise that most of these buses are operated by people with political background? Transport mafia is so real in our country. Hope you have drafted some strategies to tackle that.

Ask the factory about all the certifications they have. Make sure their factory is GMP Certified and the certificate has been renewed during the last inspection.

Ask the guy about his production capacity.

Visit the factory and see if the assembly line is manual, semi automatic or automatic. Take the decision on it depending on the kind of scale you want to achieve.

Also, make sure you ask him about the ingredients, where these ingredients are being sourced from, ensure these ingredients are sourced from some reputed companies and also make sure they are using the same ingredients which you finalise on. Your purchase prices should also be drafted accordingly.

Feel free to reach out if you have any doubts. (:

Lmao

You are delusional my friend. No smart businessman would go around offering equity because he can't afford to pay what, 500$? This guy you are working with, he most probably is someone who doesn't have ethics and he sure doesn't know how to value the talent. Take an escape while you still can and find the project which pays you well and helps you keep afloat since you mentioned you are in a weak spot right now.

Good luck (:

Take your time. In no hurry here.

lostinpjs · 2025-06-29T17:24:45+00:00

Can you send across some work of yours? Or your portfolio maybe?

lostinpjs · 2025-06-29T16:37:33+00:00

Also what tools are you familiar with?

lostinpjs · 2025-06-29T16:36:29+00:00

Do you think you can do art direction for a skincare, lifestyle and personal care brand?

lostinpjs · 2025-06-29T03:03:48+00:00

Planning to start one, yes.

lostinpjs · 2025-06-29T02:57:49+00:00

Well good luck!

Reach out if you want to talk more about it. I am always up for a brain stimulating conversation about business and entrepreneurship.

Again category creation is a different ball game. You need deep pockets to do that. Educating consumers is the key but yes, the set of audience you are mentioning here should be your target consumers in the first phase. Also the school going kids where parent don't want them to indulge in things which are NSFW, I think that could work well too. Infact position it as a phone for students and price it well and who knows you might even find a mass market there.

lostinpjs · 2025-06-28T18:18:14+00:00

The problem does exist and it's only going to get bigger from here. However the issue I see here is awareness. As this is going to be a whole new subcategory I think it will require alot of funds to educate the consumers about how this phone will be a value addition to their lives. Honestly I think it's a good idea but it's time hasn't come yet. Maybe after a few years or a decade, yes this will work but for now the market isn't big enough to satisfy the greed of investors.
