Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey folks,
I am currently working with a unicorn at an entry-level position. I am considering moving to an early-stage startup to take on a higher ownership role.

Please comment down the names of exciting early-stage startups!

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.

Marketing Associate

Hi folks, 

I'm Kashish, the CEO of EquityList and Founder of Cloud Capital which I run as a solo GP.
A little bit about what we do: 

EquityList is a full-stack equity management platform by AngelList India. Companies across India, US and Singapore use EquityList to manage their cap table, stock options (ESOP/SAR), shareholders, and related compliances. Managing equity for 10k+ stakeholders, 250+ companies and ~$1B in stock options.

Cloud Capital has deployed $8M+ in 55+ startups such as Airmeet, Rupifi, Orange Health, DevRev, ZET (OneCode) and others. I've also angel invested in startups such as OSlash, Atlys, Chronicle, Even Healthcare and others.

Excited to do this AMA, and look forward to answering any of your questions about ESOPs, cap table management, investing, entrepreneurship, and more!

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

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

For me, there have been 2.

56 secure: I originally came across it 3 years back, learnt recently that they are already raising series B round. They provide digital + physical security infra. I feel they make security as a service accessible to individual houses and small businesses and hence creating their own market.

Flent: Came across them recently from a LinkedIn post. They provide fully furnished homes for rent for any duration you need. I think these 10 month deposits, 6 month lock-in etc are really limiting. Given their target audience is top 1% of rental user base, I feel it just makes sense. I recently saw the banker movie, and this worked as a business model 50 years ago in US when that was a growing market. 

Share yours in comments!

Have any startups recently caught your attention/inspired you?

I will go first -


It’s hectic as hell, but if you are passionate about the problem that specific startup is solving- it is really rewarding and exciting. But that’s just my opinion not everyone feels the same way about crazy work schedules and WLB which early stage startups tend to have . 

Please share your thoughts and experiences!

What do you all think of early stage startups?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

SAAS is too concentrated now, Do you know any saas startup doing out of box and is yet to be funded or just got funded? Happy to see some good ones.

Do you have any early stage SAAS startup doing so great?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey everyone. 

Thought I could do an AMA. A bit about me - have 4 years of work experience and graduated from a non engineering college. Was at a startup before (from Series B to Series D) before becoming a VC

Personally look at consumer and B2B investments here 

Happy to answer any questions around life as a junior VC, startup ecosystem, career growth etc.

AMA: I work at a large VC Fund focusing on early stage investments

This is the biggest problem with VC ecosystem 4 yoe kids taking calls on experienced, hardworking founders. Dude first learn the game then invest , judge people playing the game. VCs know nothing about how to run startups. Unless they have been entrepreneurs themselves. IMO It's a colossal waste of talent to become a VC for young PPL.

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.
