Naval Ravikant’s advice to startup founders: “You only have to be right once” Naval Ravikant took 13 years and 7 startups before AngelList (worth $4.1B) became his first real success. Most entrepreneurs fail—a lot. Naval launched 40-50 projects, and almost all flopped. His lesson? “It’s a low hit rate, but you only have to be right once.” Sam Altman echoes the same idea: “I will fail many times, and I will be really right once.” This is the reality of startups. It’s not about avoiding failure—it’s about surviving long enough to finally succeed. What does this mean for you? Stop overthinking the perfect idea. Just launch. Expect failure. It’s part of the process. Keep iterating, adapting, and trying again. Most people quit too soon. The winners? They keep playing until they win. So ask yourself: Are you giving yourself enough chances to get lucky? Follow Vishu Bheda for more valuable startup insights from the world's best founders!
