Rs 120 Crore Raised, Still Crying Over Rent? Startup Truth Bombs! 💥 Harsh Pokharna, IIT Kanpur grad, OKCredit’s CEO, took Rs 120 crore in 2019. And guess what? He’s still stressing about Bengaluru rent like a broke intern. 😳 This is the ugly truth of startup life , crores in the bank, but your wallet’s empty irl VCs play dirty. They want founders poor and desperate, so they can control the game. “Stay hungry,” they say, while they enjoy fancy offices. Bengaluru’s rent is a straight-up scam , 50k for a 2BHK, and PGs give you zero privacy. 😡 Add the startup grind , DAU, MAU, burn rate, investor calls and you’re always in stress. Money’s there, but peace? Gone. This is the startup ecosystem: all fcked up, no chill. Founders burn out while VCs count their profits. Advice for founders: Don’t fall for the “stay broke” trap. Build your startup, but keep some savings. Yeh thodi si akal rakho, warna crore bhi aayenge, aur rent ke liye rona padega. 😏 What’s your take? Is this startup hustle worth it or just a hyped-up scam? Drop your thoughts below! ☕ Till then check out my idea on Showcase https://medial.app/idea/animaze-b8b4de2358181
