Does my profile looks bad if I quit my job during probation

Hi everyone, I have 2 year of product experience (1.5 year full time & 6 month of internship). I left my past company to start my own venture, though it didn't work out as planned I sold the MVP and joined a startup. It has been 1 week, and I am not liking the culture so I am planning to switch.

I wanted to know will I be grilled upon why I am leaving so early and will it affect my overall profile? Also what's the general notice period during probation?

I quit my first job during probation. I had to do it because post that my notice period would have become 2 months. I always get asked questions about it in my interviews and I always answer them honestly. Except HRs no one will mind it as long as you are great in other areas

Understood so don't we need to serve notice period during probation? As I do not want to leave my job without having any job in hand due to financial constraints

In probation, the notice meriod is a bit less. Mine was 20days

Don't show it on your profile?

But they will know at the time of PF verification that I was a part of an organisation that I didn't mention earlier

Check your appointment letter. Some startups usually dont have probation sometimes. You could be relieved earlier if you have a proper conversation and leave on good terms. Also it would make zero sense to show this experience on your resume

I do not want to show it on my resume my main concern is if it will get flagged during background verification as the company will know at the time of PF verification. So should I mention it to them beforehand
