In one of the townhall at Koo, Co founder mayank bidawatka said “ham sab ko mrana pdega agr koo ko grow krna h” what’s your take on this statement?

How is the work culture at KooApp.com ? Since it is a growing startup, the work load can be a lot , but how is the environment? Fun, toxic, challenging? Also throw some light on benefits.

I mostly discount such things but here it was an explicit bet because the funds knew Aprameya and not because they saw any potential in the idea. Doomed to fail from the start, no matter how right wing they positioned it to be.

Idk why I feel that, I was too confused to execute anything, I did not have a clear idea on what to do- I opened 80-90 tabs throughout the day, did a whole lot of research. wasted my founder's time to take a decision, when I close at the end of the day. I know I was just seeking clarity but on the execution front. I contributed nothing. I did not bring a single new visitor to my website today. some days just get spent on a whole lot of nothing. #growth

With the host of startups closing down, was curious to know what does founder net worth usually result in and how do they generally make money for them along the way. Few questions- 1. Do founder sell percentage of own shares in Series A and B raises? I would assume there would be some checks on this but want to know what's the practical reality of this and if this happens what's the amount a founder can make through this 2. If the startup is clear it has to shut down, what typically happens? Acquisitions? Insolvency? 3. Assume a Series B level startup with valuation around 150 cr with say 10 Cr annual revenue and 40 cr losses and 30% founder stake and it's clear it has to shut down. In the absence of any acquisition, what money comes to the founder

The Indian microblogging site Koo has shut down. Reminds me of a conversation with an ex-founder along the lines of “Startups are a hard business. But even within startups, social networks are the hardest businesses to build” What do you think of Koo

Nice to see the openness. Can't imagine how tough it is, to have been derailed by incorrect signals during the bull market. I think they're genuine people who unfortunately could not get it to the right place. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mayank-bidawatka-028b2a1_i-had-promised-updates-and-heres-another-activity-7189226150538240000-MmcI?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
