Product Manager

Software Engineer

My friend got laid off 2-3 months ago from there only.

We talking about velocity of Noida only na

Are you talking about velocity, hsr, bangalore?

The co-founder is my from one of the company I worked, average fellow, though from IIM/IIT.

The idea sounds good though and they are offering good money as well. Don't know properly but from the face of it looks to be a scalable and healthy business idea

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Do you approve of the product team and the culture at Velocity? They are into RBF Funding for D2C startups.

Velocity Product Culture

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

A big challenge for arguably most early stage startups is going from 2-3 lakhs per month to 5-10 lakhs per month and more in revenue. Market is willing to provide credit or loans for the latter but not the former.

It's the former that need it more but there are no collateral free loan options in the market that are reasonable. Even though India collects hefty tax and revenue from global businesses with digital platforms and products, it's unwilling to provide collateral-free loans to startups born in India.

The best you can get is from NBFCs or private lenders at more than 12-15% interest (which is often more than the net profit for a lot of startups, hence impractical). Most govt loans and schemes aren't applicable to a large portion of startups because of their criteria.

Even setting up the company can often take months. GST and taxes are a nightmare. Where is this "ease of business" that people talk about?

Unless entrepreneurs bankroll everything from their own pockets, there is almost no way for bootstrapped startups to build and grow sustainably in India.

I've never met a single entrepreneur who availed a govt scheme to get loans for their business in India. I wonder where all that budget money went.

Startup India is a sham

Generalist

Considering joining Velocity (HSR, Bangalore) in the capacity of a product manager but I have read a lot of negative reviews about the company on Glassdoor. I also checked their LI and saw that a lot of employees had left Velocity in less than a year. Can someone give me reviews on -
1) Work culture and WLB
2) Product culture and company strategy 
3) CEO/CTO review (since I'll be working directly with them)

Work and product culture at the RBF startup Velocity?

Let's say you want to start a start up like a scalar academy.

How would you go about it?
Will you do marketing first to bring in customers or register as a company?
Start hiring people or spend on ads?

Just curious to know how people start up, and what's their first step.

Please share your insights, it might help someone start later on.

Thanks for the input

Live AMA: Hey everyone, I'm Kashish, CEO of EquityList. Ask me anything!

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 ☺️

Is lightspeed ventures a good choice for pre-revenue startups

Want to build a AI startup. Finding it impossible as 
1) Incumbents with distribution and data will easily build AI to their products
2) I don’t have PhD to build something truly innovative.
3) For consumer space, I don’t think it’s possible to build a new device or a OS etc (Incumbents again!)

I seriously wonder how startup founders start something! Do they just BS VCs about nice ideas and raise money? Any tips *from actual founders*  will be useful

Can’t think of good startup ideas!

Q to employees working in startups..do you folks have visibility about the runway left for your startup?

And is your company actively looking to raise funds in this market?
