There is now an increased air of "start-up romance". That paints start up life as working in chiller attire out of a fancy co working space, talking ideas all day, raising funding rounds, giving gyaan on social media, hosting Fri Eve drinks for colleagues. Don't fall for it. "Start-up reality" hits soon. It means painful execution, limited budgets and even more limited working conditions, constant rejection, challenges in hiring and retention, pressure for revenue at any cost, and uncertainty for a very long period of time. Be ready for it.

The key difference is: Good startups: Quiet execution, basic office, focused teams Failed startups: Viral LinkedIn posts, fancy CoWrks space, daily team lunches

The worst are these "startup storytelling" posts: "Started in a garage" "Lived on Maggi" "Slept in office" Meanwhile daddy's 2cr seed funding in bank account. At least be honest about your privileges.
