Interesting subject maybe YC has some theory about what they look at early stage startup’s. Mostly it boils down execution ability of the founders. Ideas can change.

Angel Investing - Help me understand

I have an MVP version of a startup idea. No revenue yet. Someone is keen to angel invest. How does this work? Can someone answer these questions for me? - If suppose Person X puts in 50L, how do I value my company and thereby equity? - How do I authorise and distribute shares? - Someone mentioned I should do a SAFE - can someone explain how'd that work and would that be a better option than choosing a random number - If I give 20% of company for 50L, how does that change if I raise a future round? Do I issue additional shares? Anyone who has had experience here will help

People should call this out more. What are examples around you where VCs have done something bad to a startup?

Know a cousin who is a founder. Tells me with experience that VCs in India only operate in FOMO. Unless you tell them another VC is looking to invest in you, they will NEVER invest in you. They need fomo to operate Only exception is ex CXO founders (high profile), where they know they'll get funded so it's fastest fingers first!!

Which VC in India

Do you find high quality, with strong operator experience? I'm a bits21 grad looking to start up and wanted to get a lay of the land. Either funds or VC partner names!

VC Podcasts

Hey folks, Just wanted to understand more about the VC ecosystem and their investment thesis for Indian Landscape. Have watched a few episodes of "Desi VC Podcast". Would be great if anyone can recommend what all episodes can be watched to get a good understanding of the same. Or would love to hear other recommendations as well. Thank you!
