This isn’t a startup era. It’s a startup cosplay epidemic. Everyone’s a “founder” — no product, no team, no traction — just a pitch deck, a landing page, and a LinkedIn bio that screams “building stealth.” They’re not solving problems. They’re solving for attention. – Copy-paste ChatGPT into a UI? “AI startup.” – Sell the same D2C crap with new packaging? “Brand disruptor.” – Raise from 1 angel? “Tech visionary.” – Quit in 3 months? “Serial entrepreneur.” It’s a generation obsessed with personal branding over product building. They don’t build. They post. They don’t iterate. They pitch. They don’t ship. They perform. This isn’t entrepreneurship — it’s roleplay in hoodies and hashtags. They want TED Talks before MVPs. Funding before users. Followers before feedback. And when it fails? No accountability — just rebrand and repeat. This fake founder factory is polluting the real builder space. We don’t need more startups — We need a reset.

🔥Most Ads Are Dead Before They Even Launch. Honestly, they’re forgettable. They launch, people scroll, and… nothing happens. The problem isn’t the product. It’s that the ad is playing it safe. Safe ads don’t spark curiosity, don’t make people talk

Shark Tank India is not empowering entrepreneurs. It’s mass-producing clowns for entertainment. Founders come to pitch. What they really do is perform — cry, beg, dramatize their pain — just to get a clip that might go viral. Sharks? They don’t fun

Why do the most useful startups get ignored? They solve real problems. They help people. They create impact. But no flashy pitch, no viral buzz, no investor interest. Why is it that the startups bringing real value often don’t get the spotlight—or t

Founders, don’t send your deck first. I’ve helped founders raise crores. The most painful mistake? Sending the deck too early. A deck is NOT an invitation. It’s a confirmation. > Investors don’t open cold PDFs. They open conversations. Instead:
