I hope you are bullshitting. Cos if you aren't, what the fuck are you doing asking in grapevine  
 Just make a post on LinkedIn and VCs will swarm

Delete this post then, all you are gonna get is some vanity boosting comments.  
 If you wanna flex flex whole heartedly, this post is pointless to be on grapevine

Dukaan turned profitable

Isne Twitter post auto trigger pe rakh diya tha. 
  
 if profit > 0 { 
  postOnTwitter(); 
  } else { 
  initiateLayoffAndCreatePostOnAI(); 
 }

I am ready to put more than 70 hours to start and run my own business. Looking for some ideas with certain criteria I have in my mind 

1. Scalability - Biz should be scalable enough to reach 100 cr annual turnover, fine if takes mid to long term
2. Margin - should have healthy margin, not looking for VC money to run it
3. Location - setup and operation can be done from anywhere
4. Non-tech - I am not a tech person, so the Biz should be done without hightech IT infra as I want to run the show on my own.

Sourcing ideas for myself, because I want to start something my own
And for other non-tech people, who are also in the same boat as I am.

Let’s see if we get some good ideas here!

70 hours week

Sales Manager

Hey, 
I've started a fleet management company I.e we take cars from owners give them out for rent and make a good chuck of margin out of it. 
We are going the Franchise route to expand faster. At this stage we need a little bit of investment to get to market aggressively. 
Our revenue for 23 - 24 is 35 Lakhs, we are projected to hit 55 - 60 lakhs this financial year.
Apart form the investment looking for a good team cause it has only been me since the beginning.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi folks - 

I was wondering if people here might know of companies that are doing good stuff in sustainability / climate tech etc. I don't have any experience here but I do feel that's one of the key problems facing humanity and I'm thinking I might feel happier if I feel my work is actually meaningful lol. Open to using my free time to study / upskill in this area.

I have looked up Terra.do as well but their flagship course is too expensive and I'm not sure how useful it is.

(Currently in a strat ops role)

So does anyone have suggestions on companies / courses that can help?

Careers in climate / sustainability

What problems would Indian and Global startups be solving in the next decade, or they would be just throwing random yearly new buzz words and as usual VCs would be having orgasms on these buzz words.

I mean real problems.

Startups of the coming age

Frontend Engineer

BD role, full time engagement, equity. 

Right now we are in product development & testing early pmf phase. 

Matching salary. 

Product - A low tech solution for non tech savvy brands to reduce their ad spend upto 40%.

Problem - Indian D2C brands spend $7b every year on ad spend only to achieve < 2% retention and <2 ROAS. This is because there is no other way other than ad spend to acq. customers. 

Tech - something at the cross-section of commerce, web3 & influencers economy.

Core team in place - 2 engineers, 1 COO, 1 CTO & 1 PM. Enough cash to survive till pre-seed and get to early pmf.

Raising $1.5m in pre-seed now. 

Founders: ex-microsoft, Uber, swiggy, Zomato, udaan, rapido

At the end of yr. 5:
Best case exit for you: ~7-9cr.
Avg case: 3-5cr.
Worst case: 60L-1cr.

Laut aao 2021 bull market 😭😭😭

While I'm proud of these two revolutionising the quick commerce space, I somehow have a bad feeling about this

Profits aren't coming, money is flowing
Don't know what the VCs are seeking?
Why bake a a pie that you can't eat later?

Too much money too soon, where have we seen that?

Consultant

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.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Curious to learn about what sectors will see more action in the run up to 2030 where we are slated to become a $5trn economy and lots of companies have done Capex investments across sectors. What specific sectors, companies (listed or startups ) will benefit. Collective logic and name taking might help us all

5 trn economy, which sectors will benefit in startups and stock markets

Growth Manager

VC funding based on revenue multiples and profit (😂😂😂) multiples is soon going to be obsolete. 

Common sense says company's valuation should be summation of yearly profits it can generate till the company exists... 

So if reliance has profit of 8 billion $ , market estimates that it's valuation should be around 25x multiple of its profit that is to say that if reliance keeps on generating same amount of profit for year on year, it will not exist after 25 years.

Now tell me, what shelf live does these VC funded startup have?

I honestly don't see all these tom dick and Harry mobile based and web based startups existing by end of this decade thanks to AI revolution.

People are still oblivion to what AI will do to white collar jobs 



Just out of curiosity, is there any single VC funded Indian startup in last 10-15 years which is immensely profitable ? 

Or for that matter any global giants like Amazon, Uber, Airbnb etc. which has turned profitable in Indian territory?

Future of VC funded mobile and web based startups

What's the highest you have seen in tech after 1CR in product role.

What after 1 crore ?

I plan on starting a venture, bootstrapped. It is a very small and low maintenance SaaS project that I aim to release as a passive source of income, just something on the side. With an extremely small team.

Any tips/guidance/suggestions/networks are welcome

Working on a Greentech SCAAS need VC for it. Already 30 cr+ revenue in this fy and profitable from 1st day.(Industrial IOT is in developing stage)
