Not bad advice especially if there is a lot of difference in earning or wealth of both families. 
  
 Many families/marriages break due to financial mismatch

Cringe surely. 💯.  
  
 Important conversation though.  A majority of relationship issues are because of food / finances.

I wanted to reach out as I’m currently exploring opportunities in the fintech space, specifically in growth, strategy, or product roles.

A bit about me:

	•	I’m currently an Associate Consultant in SAP at a Big 4, but I’m eager to transition into a business-focused role.
	•	I have 4 years of pre-MBA experience in UI/UX design.
	•	I completed my MBA from a new IIM.
	•	I have 2 years of experience in SAP consulting post-MBA.

Over the past few months, I’ve applied to over 400 companies but am now looking for guidance or any leads you might have. If you know of any relevant opportunities or can point me in the right direction, I’d greatly appreciate it.

SAP Consultant

Hey guys,

I am currently struggling with my startup and it’s product launch. Having talked to most of the VCs and getting ghosted, what should I do?

I have built the product and it’s ready to be launched, have a small team but I am a solo founder. 

Applied to YC and even got referral from 2-3 YC founders, still no interview. Looking for $500k.

Let me know if anyone knows anyone ❤️

Does this affect the stable money value prop.? Because as mentioned in the post fixerra is bringing in multiple FD issuers and providing infrastructure to build. Would that lower the entry barrier for building B2C product in FD segment as any fintech can expand horizontally in this segment by integrating with them.

Or stable money themselves are using these types of tools as an enabler? Just wanted to understand if I'm thinking this right?

Does this affects stable money or is this an enabler?

Sharing frustrations with starting up a business. In my career I have raised over $30m over multiple rounds.

Co-founders in non-business roles get pushed out by politics. Sharing control with co-founders is messy, inconvenient, time consuming. Money lets you hire people who have to answer to you.

If you are not the main ‘Business person’ in a startup high chance you are disposable, no matter what skills you have. And it sucks to spend so much effort only to get bullied out and left with nothing.

Some investors will follow you on social media, if your business is not growing QoQ don’t post anything on social media that implies you are not working every weekend. They will ask why you are not working.

 If you are CEO, be ready for every random person to tell you how to run your business. Not in a ‘friendly advice’ kind of way, if you are the CEO you have a target on your back.

 Investors don’t know about your industry or have very dated knowledge. Some will just say random tips like ‘try web3’ or ‘try SaaS’ and blame you for following their advice when it fails.

 Your progress is measured against fraud companies who fake numbers, or the 1 in thousands who succeed. Get made to feel like you are failing to live up to super high expectations constantly.

 Employees work half your hours, off sick usuall one day a week, deliver next to nothing and expect 20% hikes every year because that’s what their friends make, or they read some dumb startup hires freshers at 20LPA. 

Smooth talking people with the same idea as you, no traction, never shipped a product in life, will raise a huge seed round due to 'pedigree' and spend it all on self promotion. You will always be compared to these clowns who find ways to lecture others while building nothing of value.

Dark side of starting up.

So much truth in everything you’ve written 
 “your progress is measured against fraud companies who fake numbers”  
  
 This has become just more prevalent over time. Confidently advice learnings from startups that are faking GMV or PMF metrics :)

We run a platform that works with SME'S , MSME's (can't disclose more on what kind, but like any transaction have buyers and sellers), have active 3 lakh users. 

The amount transacted is above 150+ crore every month.

We realised that these SME'S and the sellers have a lending cycle with the seller every 7-14 days. 

Got some queries for lending (Because these businesses run of cash flow), after in-depth research, we just realised the immense potential we have if we start lending to them (both the buyers & sellers - by lending + invoice discounting).

We already have all the data points since these users have been with us for a very long time.

What does the fintech community think, should we add the fintech-lending to our business? 

(P.s.:  Initial Projections show we start making 12-15 Crore net profit, after launch at 50% utilisation)

I wanted to share one of my latest discoveries ✨

Found about this App via linkedin. As of now, its a convinient way to create FD’s without creating bank account in a particular bank. They are offerring bunch of rewards to do this . How is it different than INDmoney, Cred and 10 other Apps ? Plus they ask for a bunch of other info, gmail access etc.

Stable Money is the new CRED ?

The fintech space in India is growing fast. Staying updated with industry trends and tools has been crucial for me, and having guidance from learning platforms like HeyCoach has made the process smoother.

1. even healthcare

3. Spartan Poker
4. Ultrahuman
5. Invideo

Mention the reason too if possible.
Let's discover some hidden ones. Brownie points if you mention startups that only a few have heard of.

If you know a less-known Indian startup that is doing some crazy shit (not so obvious ones), do mention.

Your turn.

What are some cool startups (Indian) you would love to work with?

As an ex-Ultrahuman employee, I can confirm that you don’t want to work there. 
  
 The culture is cut throat. I was there for an year and I got a total of 3 weekends where I didn’t touch my laptop. 
  
 Credit where its due, founders and people are amazing, it’s just that the expectations are so high that you are constantly overworked.
