If you startup SOM is more than a billion customers, could you raise $40 mil as seed funding?

Look you need to have few database server farm decentralised for major countries,, and those will handle millions of searches every second plus you need to build an entire company and software systems to serve customers with potential few office and sales in 5 major countries. The product is full market fit and even 500 million users might pay a premium for it. What's your view? If any questions, please ask in comment.

Yeah i understand bro but the issue is very very very very few companies can attain a market this big and it takes time. Don't mean to discourage you and I agree ambition should be high. Sar asman me hona chahiye but pair zameen par.

I think you need to revisit the market fit. More than a billion customers will easily get you whatever funding you want

To be clear, are you asking if you could scam the VCs into giving you 40mil

ZestySushi

Zomato23mo

To be clear, I ask VC to stand ground with the company to back strong scalable system in order to fight some giants mafias because I got a to know a problem huge with current online industry which could change revolutionize entire industry. That's all.

India startup ecosystem is already filled with unsustainable, copycat, companies trying hard and less than a 10 successful yet contained inside boundary.
