Second bomb for middle-class kids under 25 building startups: You’ll probably fail. Wanna know why? Because most of you only know reels, motivation, fancy talks, and “I’ll work hard” slogans—oh, and of course, funding. 😂 But here’s the truth: Building a real startup needs depth. And if you’re under 25, chances are you don’t have that depth yet—not in any meaningful domain. So what now? Simple: Whatever you're building, go a little deeper every single day. Learn. Obsess. Get good—actually good—at that niche. And yeah, accept that your first startup might fail. But don’t give up. That depth you're building now is the real compounding asset. Also—stop chasing shiny distractions like funding, pitch competitions, or the next hot trend. Because you don’t even know yet what real resources it takes to make a real impact. Want a version with emojis or Gen-Z slang, or more serious tone? I can adjust that too. Tools

Interestingly!! Good companies make products that customers want. Great companies make products that customers don’t yet know they want.

“VCs be like: ‘We don’t invest in ideas, we invest in founders.’ …unless you’re under 25, didn’t go to IIT, or don’t speak in pitch deck fonts 💀”

Startups don’t fail overnight. They slowly bleed. When things collapse, what do you think is usually the real killer?🙌

I only understood that if your regular customers are the owner of 25% of the organisation cooperativeoy, that company is hard to fail.

Entrepreneurs don’t fail because of lack of ideas. They fail because they chase too many. Every "let’s just test this" stacks up until your real priorities get smothered. Focus isn’t sexy. But it’s undefeated.

Success is about creating real value, not chasing hype. Focus on the journey, stay resilient, and don’t be afraid to fail in public.

Startups don’t fail because of a lack of funding. They fail because of a lack of founder development. These books shaped the way I think, decide, negotiate, sell, and survive. Worth every single page. Forget MBAs. This is the real founder curriculu

Why are investors backing away? It's not about talent — it's about depth. Founders today are skipping the foundation, chasing trends, and performing for likes instead of building for users. Let’s bring back real, value-driven building. #StartupTruth
