Would investors be comfortable funding "porn tech" ventures?

For me its porn and gambling, very hard no on making a product or joining an org built on exploiting someone else Domains I can never start up but join may be, would be religion, not into religion or spirituality much so can't start something from scratch with no domain knowledge or passion for the field. But given enough money will be happy to tag along in the journey Just wanted to see if others thought about their hard no's or blindspots in general

Today raised $22m series B. No revenue. Video streaming app with Less than 1m daily users in india is valued over $100m... So every random person in india is worth over $100? Lol. Competition, Chingari, Rooter, both in trouble. Eloelo has worse engagement than both (I looked on data.ai) Definitely faking numbers to investors, why else would anyone invest.

At Nexus(our startup), we're passionate about revolutionizing the way people invest in Stocks and crypto. But as any startup founder can attest, the path to success is often filled with obstacles. Recently, we encountered a significant roadblock in our quest for funding. A potential investor turned us down, citing that hit us hard: we didn't have a fully functioning MVP. Now, you might be wondering, what exactly our MVP was showing? Well it wasn't the flashy trading platform we dream of. Instead it considered a basic interface with stock prices displayed here and there. The cold reality is that users couldn't buy or sell any assets, nor could they access other advanced features. Why, you ask ? The answer lies in the complex regulatory landscape of the financial industry. To facilitate the trading functionality, a platform must obtain a SEBI license. This license requires rigorous compliance with financial regulations, and crucially proof of "financial backing". Investors won't understand that we need a significant amount of funding to take off. Without it, we'd be swimming in the shallow waters.

When I was in 12th and gave my exams for JEE Mains I got - Physics : 1 Chemistry : 2 Maths : -3 Basically:0 but it was intentional. I got 99% on my 12th and 10th board. Qualified for NERIST Entrance Exam. Got everything but wanted to prove a point, “One piece of paper won’t decide my future.” Guess I was wrong. Now no investors wants to invest in my ideas because they look for pedigree. My friends got into IIT Bombay, Delhi and Kharagpur. But unfortunately for them they couldn’t get a job???? My friend who got into IITK got the highest marks in our state batch of 2018. Now his doing coaching. My IITB friend didn’t get an interview nor placement. Lastly my IITD friend is back at studying for MTech. Don’t understand what is happening. I can build but investors don’t invest. They can work but got no job.

Does B2B E-commerce have a future in India? No one has been able to crack the business model yet and many big names have scaled back. Does anyone know a profitable company in this segment? How risky it is to join a startup in this space?
