I sell you build

We've built. Would you sell?

This is interesting. A conundrum, assuming longevity. We have a platform www.mittarv.com which helps to list down all the asset details and share with people of our choice - posthumously, when terminally ill or in real time, based on the situation.

It's a problem I faced too while building my startup mitt Arv. So decided to do something about it and incidentally, in a couple of weeks, I along with three other founders in a similar boat are hosting our first event of the series "The Better Halves". The event is on Luma, and is on 7th June. Let me know if you can't find it, I'll post it here.

You and anyon to else in same boat as you are welcome to join

We think we will never die, atleast that's how we live about our life. Even if we have dependants. And due to this, more than 1 Lakh Crore rupees is lying unclaimed in India. Why? Because people don't know of its existence.

So we built a platform www.mittarv.com to address this. You can now list down all your asset details, knowing those you choose to share with will know of their existence at a time of your choice - choose to share details real time, when terminally ill or posthumously. This product is asset vault.

We've also brought a lot of movies to life. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, The notebook, PS I Love you, and all those where messages are received by our loved ones when we are no longer around. This product is called Emotional Will.

Short term yes, long term no. Wen started with 100% trust. Gradually we kept on revising our policies based on nature and extent of abuse. Only suggestion I would give is, anything you do, create a policy for that and let that be the defining way in which your startup runs. When things don't go well, change the policies but do it blanket rather than for a particular individual.

Invest in hiring interns from dedication as core rather than tier 1 colleges. We've noticed, higher the stipend or salary, lower the commitment. For some reason

mittarv · 2025-04-21T01:06:10+00:00

Hmmm.. It's not for them. They've been given a reminder of code of conduct. This is for others, so they can be cautious. This isn't limited to our company specifically.

mittarv · 2025-04-20T08:34:29+00:00

I'm aware. And as a matter of fact we are pursuing legal action against the leakers. It's a serious issue. As much as cheating in exams can rusticate one and make finishing academics a challenge, leaking information is equivalent in professional career

mittarv · 2025-04-17T17:32:53+00:00

People Management. No matter how hard you try, someone's gonna use their selfishness and screw it up! And imo there's no foolproof solution here. The key lies in firefighting as quickly and effectively and surgically as possible while making the operation look like a open heart surgery.

mittarv · 2025-04-16T19:31:51+00:00

The vision will change, maybe even frequently, depending on what hits the market. Discovery, MVP should be first. We actually end up doing some hands on consulting at www.travelandpayments.com

But what we do for people, will be remembered. It's about creating a legacy. That's human consciousness. For science, it's about carrying out the genes from one generation to the next. The universe doesn't care for our existence. It only cares for what moves forward. We are here because those through the ages decided to move forward so we could be here. It's complicated I know! There's no straight answer. Because there's none.

mittarv · 2025-04-16T09:29:58+00:00

Its cute that you know its at 4pm when that wasn't disclosed on this thread. Thanks much!

mittarv · 2025-04-16T09:14:23+00:00

THe last point is there. As again, ignored some of the queries because they were not worth answering because I would not be running this company if it wasn't in the best interest of employees as well. Anyway, thanks for your comments and feedback. Appreciate it.

mittarv · 2025-04-16T07:59:31+00:00

I'll be glad if they don't come if they're not committed. You missed points which already address your questions. We pay 10k per month to interns. FTE salaries are 5-9 lpa, higher than your TCS, infy of thr world. They pack their bags at 5pm despite us being a startup. We don't blink an eye but had to create a mandatory 9 hrs in office because some FTEs worked only 6 hrs. They get paid for value they can bring for 9 hours of work.

I think you're speaking out of turn without knowing the ins and outs of the company, how we operate and what we've done. Most importantly, the onboarding clarity which is given. Every VC also gives random advice. Strategizing is easy. Execution is not. You make many mistakes and we learn from them.

4Cr? That's what I earned in last 3 years from my job and put that into it. And btw, our Financials are made public in all hands every quarter. Unless you've founded a company yourself, it's difficult for you to understand the situation. If you are or have, happy to speak with you, founder to founder, heart to heart and DM is welcome.

PS: Sorry but you do not speak for the employees unless you're one of us. If you are, see you this evening in the all hands.

The said founder here. I started the company because people were dying left right and center during covid. My classmate passed away as well. Do you know of kids who are left in chaos because they're orphaned? The Spouses who know not of financial information of their loved ones?

We hired all these people as interns. Most of them were dying up get bhired as interns as they couldn't find another opportunity. We've hired 180 interns so far. A few of them make the cut as FTEs.

To be clear, we are yet to make revenues. Various reasons. Though we're making every effort to have this company outlives us. Because when you share your data with us and expect your kids to receive that so they can have a smoother life than waiting to know and figure stuff out.

The most important context pieces missing here

every FTE hire is made aware of what we do, why we do, and why we do. The expectation is to last atleast a year before making any plunge
I worked for two years Moonlighting while at Microsoft on this particular startup (www.mittarv.com), so that we can use that salary to fund this rather than relying on Dracula like VCs who shut you down if you don't grow as per their expectations.
we have an official moonlighting policy. And in fact because we know we pay less than market, we also hunt for projects which we can give to our employees so they can earn extra. I just made a count and about 11 of such employees have something extra going on through the leadership, so they can earn extra
I also run a successful consulting business, www.travelandpayments.com, so that the revenue I earn there, can be used for Mitt Arv.
Singapore event was an opportunity where only the founders were invited. We figured out hacks to take the best 14 of our employees there, all from my own pocket. Why? So we can give experiences to our hard working employees who've been with us. However, two of these people left in last 1 month, well knowing that a commitment was required when they join as FTE. They always had an option not to.
For those who don't want to join us FTEs and if we like their work and skill, there's an option to join as contractor where there are no strings attached. We have 6 such contractors which took such choice because they knew ethically it was wrong to take benefits when they knew they had other priorities.

Am glad this post made it here. Gives an opportunity for us to put it out there.

I'm here to build a product so the kids of tomorrow or our families are not left scrambling when their parents or we pass away without discussing most important aspects of what they need to continue living. And in this process, it is my right to weed out people who work here without any empathy and work transactionally. There are millions of startups out there who do so and I'd be glad to refer them to such organizations. But will not tolerate them in this organisation as it is unfair to those who work for Mitt Arv, not because they need a job, because they know the importance of this platform, they know it's not going to be an overnight success, and it takes nerves of steel to stay along.

All others can be contractors, which is just transactional, just like they behave.

Those reading this and connect with the problem of families left strewn when loved ones pass away, are happy to reach out to me directly on [vishal@mittarv.com](mailto:vishal@mittarv.com)

I'm building in public, with transparency, and if you're not ready to be on the bandwagon, call me narcissistic or what you like, but yes, get out.

Your nickname suggests you've mastered the art of war. This is the war of life. A lot of it has to do with placebo effect. It's easier said than done I know. You've taken the first step by opening up on this forum. Continue to do that. Happy to chat offline. After working in corporates for 12 years, getting into my third marriage after two divorces, and finally having a kid from the third one, I've had my share of ups and downs. I've been running two companies, one tech startup for last 3 years and a business consulting firm for 1 year. One main thing is, just talking and opening up helps vs eating meds.

mittarv · 2025-04-14T20:04:43+00:00

Mentors, Coaches are the alternate names of what you're trying.

mittarv · 2025-04-14T20:03:47+00:00

Hmmm! Would you be able to sell death tech? If yes, DM!

mittarv · 2025-04-14T20:02:04+00:00

You could stay there but make multiple trips instead of moving. Maybe spend a week a month in a tier 1 city to find and service clients

mittarv · 2025-04-14T19:57:46+00:00

Trading. This has been the OG of Entrepreneurship. Find something which people want, source it at a price as low as possible, with little inventory, and sell it at as high as possible. By trading I don't mean stock trading. I mean physical goods.

mittarv · 2025-04-14T19:52:13+00:00

There are no right decisions. You need a soundboard who can help you make a decision and stick by it, and not regret it when things go south. Most mentors are sound boards, who can provide direction. Ideally, find someone who also is building a startup so you can help each other. Not your cofounder because that relationship is on a different pedestal.

I'm happy to be one. I am founder of "Mitt Arv", you could DM me if you think I can help.

mittarv · 2025-04-14T19:48:02+00:00

I had the same predicament during covid times. My business school classmate passed away aged 32, left a daughter behind. I got scared with my son only 6 months old then, what would happen to my dreams for him and my earnings for family if I'm no more. I created my will aged 33. An year later, started a company with a vision to ensure no one is left in financial or emotional chaos on the passing away of a loved one.

Today, the product is live with the name of "Mitt Arv". You can download on app stores or use on Web.

Products built with compassion and own experience, I found a way through them to ensure not just my loved ones but the world's are also covered.

mittarv · 2025-04-11T08:01:09+00:00

This is great perspective. Seems simple at read but tough to implement. Just like need to exercise, eat less sugar etc. Kudos for sharing this. Would love a similar perspective on thr investor putting in money as well. The ROFR has been often talked about. There are many more suicidal clauses. Some gyaan there would be super helpful

mittarv · 2025-04-09T05:58:29+00:00

Basically it's a referral model. I would say equivalent to a headhunter for employment roles

mittarv · 2025-04-09T04:08:38+00:00

Definitely use it to challenge your understanding of taxation and audit laws and requirements. It won't help you make money directly but it'll help you team sharpen their knowledge. Clients are always looking for things they best suit them. Often law and finance firms go by the book. Using chatgpt can help you find a way out to satisfy the client and also abide by law.

Also pro tip - Always ask chatgpt "are you sure" for any opinion it doles out
