Survival required only till series B. Salary leke nikal lo. Networth banao n futo. Neither founder nor VC do care about it now a days.

Winter is here for quite sometime. Anyone which has to pivot will wind up soon

Team retention is very important when you want to pivot, cant lose your resources and say am pivoting

Crazy to think that this year was the graveyard of many Startups

Adding a recency bias of Zirp funding, many edtech, fintech, creator economy startups valuation crashed 90% or got belly up.  
 Byju is just a poster boy among unicorns. With funding dryness startups cant rely to burn big vc capital. 
  As valuation hits a ceiling it is Dhanda only which needs sustainable cashflows and not continously rely on funding

Graveyard for belly up startups is back in 2024

What all large startups will shut down (fold) over the next 18 months?

Painful to see so many startups run out of money/ shut down. Is your company doing good?

Founders are not shitposting on the socials, so that’s good I think 😅

-Online brands are expanding offline to achieve scale
 -Late stage startups are gearing towards profitability earlier than planned 
-Biz models built on behavior during Covid are struggling (like edtech) 
-Startups which got funded due to TikTok ban are struggling 
-Finfluencers are soon expected to struggle
 -Credit Fintech w/o NBFC license is a struggle
 -Very few consumer content startups frm India are seeing scale and profitability
 -RMG is struggling due to regulations
 -India focused creator economy startups finding it difficult to scale 
-PLG led Indian SaaS startups not able to cross $20M ARR
 -Some VCs finding it tough to raise without DPI 
-Public markets thrashing innovative/vanity metrics of pvt VC funded cos. and their pvt market valuations 
-Series B and beyond is tough, down round/flat round is now common
 - Deals happening at single digit ARR multiple for SaaS valuations 
- Web3 startups not getting funded 
- Most GenAI startups not able to build any defensibility
- Most B2B Commerce startups are not able to increase gross margins or reduce NWC
 - CACs are ever increasing 
- Compliance issues at many startups - Layoffs to continue 
- startups which got funded in 2021, will soon be out of runway
 - no liquidity event for vested ESOPs in most Indian startups
 - secondaries happening at 35% discount in some cases 
- deal closure times have become 2x - less FOMO amongst VCs 
- More instances of M&A falling through

Harsh realities of Indian startup ecosystem

I remember Meesho, Khatabook, Myntra and Scaler do this. 

Anyone up there?

There are so many startups failing all around.
Many which I thought were doing something great also have been duds. Some epic surprise failures would be dunzo, pharmeasy, etc.
It looks like there will be many more such revelations in coming days 😐😐

Please share list of some stable and good startups (Series B and beyond) which I should be targetting.

omg what's happening guys in the startup scene where are the VCs hiding. 🤑

Start-up capital Bengaluru records 80 per cent drop in seed funding; global factors blamed.

Software Test - QA

Heard from most people that there’s a lot of crunch. Wondering if anyone at their companies feels like their startup is growing despite the slowdown. 

Razorpay, CRED, and are seeing tighter regulations and downrounds. The food delivery companies have all gone through their down rounds and readjustment of expectations. Even SaaS most founders have a poor revenue/employee ratio and the india story is still yet to play out for the newer bets. 

Just yesterday Oslash announced it’s shutting down its app.

Any green shoots ☘️? And if there are maybe it’s a good thread for folks to try and hire.

Any Indian startups doing well currently ?

many companies are shutting down especially the named ones. many are close to getting shut. is there a good resource to track? want to keep it handy for future purposes. :)
