Getting into IIT was a dream. I tried during my 12th. Didn’t make it. Not even close. Trying again was not an option because I knew the reality. Maybe I knew it all along. I was not a fit. I was a misfit. For the longest time, I believed IITs and IIMs were A-grade colleges and getting into one should be the north star metric. But it took (a lot) time to realize it’s not. It’s not the exclusive curriculum, professors, dorm rooms, or lecture halls that anchor you in those four years. They can be xeroxed by any private college. It’s the community. The people you’re around in the early years. It sets the foundation not for your first job, but for the trajectory of your life. The best and worst habits - when reverse engineered - boil down to the people you were around earlier. We built that exact, much-needed community for young founders. A ground outside college to get brutal feedback, warm intros, and talk to people who’ve been there, done that. Comment 'in the trenches' to get access. See you inside.

Has anyone used this app called StudentTribe? It’s a community based app for students to find internships and college events. If yes, how was the experience using it?

“I’m not growing” Most people think it’s a lack of time. Wrong. It’s a lack of understanding on how to: - evoke emotion - make it raw - be upfront The easiest way to do this? Talk about the trials and tribulations that made you. People follow

Will the world accept me if I don’t have an Instagram account? I just haven’t found a reason to have one. Reels, filters, hashtags—it’s not my vibe. But if there’s one thing I miss, it’s connecting with people I truly want to.
