Yesterday I met the Founder - CEO of the company I previously worked at and he is the most down to earth person ever.
This guy have previously raised $12Million and later sold his company to Adobe and still is super humble.
Gave me his time and advice
Wanna be like him one day

Instagram and LinkedIn aren’t designed for this

Yoo, some people (CEOs) deep in the industry DMed me and told the number is around $10Mil and not $80Mil for annual revenue
Still huge! But not as huge as the numbers on google, which seems to be inflated

This is the first app prototype I built 8 yrs ago lol
With MIT App Inventor
Didn’t know much so made the logo (copied Google) in Photoshop
App is ugly but it feels great because this is where it all started for me

If I have learned one thing after watching hundreds of super successful founder interviews, it is that there are no rules on building a great startup.
There are patterns yes, but no rules.
You can go against all the advice and still build a super huge company.

It is a management software for restaurant, started by few folks from Ahmedabad in 2011
Used by a lot of restaurants in india
Next time when you visit a restaurant, ask them which software they use, high chance they say petpooja

I have worked with Shubh, he is an incredible builder and a great friend!
He recently raised a pre-seed
If you are looking for joining a rocketship, this is it
We're building our founding team at Raccoon AI and hiring awesome engineers in person in Bangalore.
If you're 1-2 years out of college, and want to join an early-stage Al startup (pre-seed), this is your chance.

I was kinda not in support of inclusion just for the sake of inclusion which woke culture promotes.
But when I saw the indian spiderman in Spider-Man across the spiderverse, I genuinely felt good and now it makes sense.

What if you followed Mark Zuckerberg when he was initially building Facebook, or Evan Spiegal when he started Snapchat or Jack Dorsey when he created Twitter? You missed those, don't miss this one. Follow me now. Right now.

Damnnnnn I was watching a podcast of Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman and 20 minutes in I get a little disturbed and that's when I knew I was dreaming.
I still remember some clips. And it wasn't some blurry dream, it was super clear one.
And this podcast doesn't even exists.

Startups are like writing an article. You write the complete article and then go back to edit. And not try to perfect each sentence from the start.
Build something and launch! Then iterate, don't try to have your first version perfect.

People fantasize about the word "decentralisation" without knowing it's actually meaning. Decentralisation doesn't mean everyone has power. Decentralisation means that everyone has the power to become that one who has all the power.

Best advice I have recieved on talking to smart people:
Talking to them candidly. The partners don't expect you to know everything. But if you don't know the answer to a question, don't try to bullshit your way out of it.

Question for Sam Altman: I recently saw an interview where you said that while building OpenAI, you went against a lot of startup advice you yourself give. I wanted to know your framework on which advice to take and which not to.

Price anchoring is the best sales tatic ever!
I still remember two years back I wanted some shoes (were 7k) and instead of directly asking my father to buy it, I asked him that I wanted to get a bike (2L).
He was like "noooo" and I went okay then, buy me shoes.
It worked!
