Building STARTUP!! • 1m

Can someone help me figure out how to calculate the valuation and equity for my startup? It’s still at the idea stage and I’m looking to raise some funding. Bootstrap is not possible and I need some investors for my social media startup.

Let me be real with you — there’s no serious investor on earth who’ll back a startup where the founder hasn’t even risked a single rupee of their own. If you haven't spent a single penny, not even for a domain, prototype, or landing page — why shoul

Thank you so much for your wonderful reply. That's true that founders have to show that investors will invest and they won't regret it. One last question - My startup is a copy of a US company. Based on that I can't ask them to invest.

Appreciate the honesty, Kamalesh. But let’s clear this up — being a copy of a US company isn’t the problem. Tons of Indian unicorns are local adaptations of global ideas. What matters is: Are you solving the problem better or faster? Do you have local insights they don’t? Can you execute it in a way that actually gets users? Investors won’t reject you for copying an idea. They’ll reject you for having no plan to out-execute it. So don’t worry about “copying.” Worry about why you’re the right person to build it — and show that with action, not just intention.

Starting a Startup ≠ Reinventing the Wheel You don’t need to be unique to build a successful startup—you need to solve a problem better than others. Many of India’s biggest startups weren’t original ideas; they were adaptations. Flipkart → Amazon-i
