Ever wondered why some founders attract investors easily while others struggle? It’s because of something called Founder-Market Fit. If someone tells you they’ll become the next Virat Kohli but they’ve never played serious cricket before, would you believe them? Probably not. But if a Ranji Trophy player says, “I want to play for India,” you take them seriously because they already have the skills, experience, and track record. Startup Funding works same way. Founder-Market Fit means the founder is the right person to build that startup. Maybe they’ve worked in that particular industry for years, maybe they’ve faced that problem firsthand, or maybe they have some unfair advantage in that industry that makes them 10x more likely to succeed than anyone else. If you don’t have a Founder-Market Fit yet, it doesn’t mean you should give up. It just means you need to gain experience, build expertise. Because in startups, being right person matters just as much as having right idea.

🧠 Ever felt like your ideas didn’t fit in? Joining a builder-first tribe helped me realize—maybe we don’t need to fit in. We just need the right room. I’m learning a lot through a community that values growth, integrity, and innovation. No courses.
