Level 1 vs Level 2 Thinking: The Real Filter Level 1 Founders: High Energy, Low Clarity Mittal calls this “surface-level” thinking. These are founders who are full of passion, but they stop at stating what they want to build. There is enthusiasm, but no deeper interrogation of the idea. In his words, “9 times out of 10, it’s not a pitch–it’s a ‘Jai Mata Di’,” a sign of surface-level thinking that relies more on hope than a solid roadmap. Level 2 Founders: Clarity Over Chaos What catches Mittal’s attention now is a different kind of pitch, one that includes roadblocks. “Level 2 founders explain what stands in the way,” he says. These are entrepreneurs who have dissected their industry, studied the friction points, and identified the real problems.
