Smart financial planning vs. unnecessary burn. โœ… Funded Startup: ๐Ÿ”น Allocated โ‚น38,000 for office rent to accommodate their team of 12 ๐Ÿ”น Three highly skilled employees earning โ‚น50,000 each ๐Ÿ”น Other staff earning โ‚น10,000 and โ‚น6,000 (interns) โ€“ trained by skilled employees ๐Ÿ”น Clear & realistic financial projections โŒ Investment-Seeking Startup: ๐Ÿ”ธ Allocated โ‚น1,20,000 for office rent (but working virtually ๐Ÿคฏ) ๐Ÿ”ธ Appointed HR Manager at โ‚น70,000 (before even building a strong team) ๐Ÿ”ธ Planning to buy Sigma Premium for โ‚น3L per month โ€“ but if they hire top designers, shouldnโ€™t they already have the software? ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ”ธ Paying โ‚น30,000 for a creator, โ‚น40,000 for a video editor, and โ‚น50,000 for a cameraman โ€“ yet no revenue model in sight! This is startup burning ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€“ spending without justification.
