Does anyone know any good startup in the seed/pre seed stage, that is building to solve an actual problem.   Preferably with a viable business model or has gained huge traction already

Upcoming Startups

Founder’s Office

Upcoming Startups- Grapevine

These would be the companies that has a great team attacking a real large problem with a vision or roadmap to also grow profitably as a business + great culture (and not necessarily chasing the valuation game and dressing up the company for investors or for eventually dumping it to common folks in IPO). Place where problem+product+people+profit have a much higher focus.

What are some startups / companies that are relatively not well known but have great potential

Director Product

I want to join a startup which is trying to solve an interesting and high impact problem statement. Some domains that would interest me:
1. SaaS product startup - solving a business process / problem using product eg. Collaboration and documentation tool
2. Any other domain apart from the crowded and boring ecommerce, edtech, foodtech sectors

Please suggest some startup names or cool domains which have opportunities for product based solutions.

What's an Indian startup that you think is solving a crucial problem?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Having worked for both early stage startups and large corporations, the work satisfaction I get by working for startups is unmatched.

I’m currently identifying few of the startups to work for as an experienced software engineer.

What are the metrics and parameters to look for?

There are some brilliant minds here who share their awesome knowledge, your thoughts will be appreciated!

How to identify a good startup to work for?

Consultant

Kya dikat hai bhai, udane do paisa. Tumhare thodi hai. 

Good firms genuinely perform well and return money. The ecosystem is not forgiving -- you don't survive very long if you don't create any big wins. It's an extremely high stress job with very little WLB. You do make money but it comes at a cost.

Layoffs are sad but at least those jobs existed in the first place? They wouldn't without VC money. India's VC scene is extremely young and it'll take time before we produce a Google. Entrepreneurs are not always right, they are not always nice either; but they definitely are courageous.

Unpopular Opinion: VCs get a lot of crap for no reason

VCs kill many startups with unrealistic targets that the main problem. Not every business is designed to give ultra quick returns VCs want . They ruin well potential startups

Which startup, currently valued > $100mn, has the best growth potential in next 3 yrs in your opinion? Why? No self promotion please.

Zilingo CEO files FIR against COO & CTO

Zilingo is already defunct. A once billion dollar startup that is now literally 0. 
One of the major startup scams. Investors just kept lapping up the GMV growth.

And now when everything is over, co-founders filing FIRs against themselves.
Disappointing.

My only appeal to everyone: please call out if you're at a startup that's doing similar stuff. A lot of careers can get saved...

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 ?

Hey guys! So I recently graduated from a non tech background but I have been coding since the last 1.5-2 years and have made some decent projects in frontend(react) (also past internship experience in Python/data analysis)

But I know with the current market conditions and my background getting a full time role might be a huge ask so my plan is to get an internship at a decent startup and then eventually convert to full time.

Do you guys know some decent startups that follow this exact model for freshers? Thanks!

Advice To Fresher Applying For Frontend Roles

Currently at mid-mvp stage fintech startup looking for pre-seed funding to resume their progress. Does this qualify the requirements to achieve a pre-seed funding ? I bootstrapped the startup myself at the beginning and we have not yet reached the stage where we can present a MVP for investors which is a huge setback we are currently facing. I tried to apply to few Indian based pre-seed ventures but all I got was just rejection mails not sure why. Prepared a pitch deck and a company structure profile although all our employees are remote. I just don't know who or how to approach an angel investor or a ventures firm so lacking expertise in this field. Suggestions would be appreciated ☺️

Whats your thought about tech boom is over? I personally think tech promised a lot much things and it failed. I may be wrong but people who are calling chat gpt is the future was the ones who supported web3 and crypto mania. So what will keep moving the tech industry? One of which is I think is digital automation, rest please enlighten us, so that we can research, read and learn about it.

Tech boom

I've been curious about whether there are any good Indian startups in the AI field that are not building "tools" like meeting summary or anything of that sort. But more like research based such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Midjourney, etc.
They could be early stage or late stage, doesn't matter. Have you guys seen any around you with potential?
