๐Ÿš€ Post 1: โ€œStartups donโ€™t die from lack of funding โ€” they die from lack of alignment.โ€ Most first-time founders think fundraising is all about creating a sleek pitch deck and blasting it out to 50+ VCs. But hereโ€™s the truth: ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ฃ That deck? Itโ€™s just 5% of the game. What really makes investors pay attention? ๐Ÿ” Itโ€™s not just about โ€œtraction.โ€ Traction doesnโ€™t always mean revenue it depends on your model. Sometimes, it's about interest, onboarding, and market signals that show people care. โœ… What matters more: Clarity of your vision Scalability of your mode Founderโ€“market fit Credibility & depth of thought ๐Ÿ“Š Donโ€™t chase vanity metrics. Strategic thinking, execution roadmap, and clear customer insight beat numbers every time. โœจ Pro Tip: Most investors never open cold decks. Their inbox is overflowing every week. Instead, build networked intros let someone they trust vouch for your story. ๐Ÿ’ก The goal isnโ€™t to chase VCs. Itโ€™s to build something so sharp, so aligned.

Entrepreneurs donโ€™t fail because of lack of ideas. They fail because they chase too many. Every "letโ€™s just test this" stacks up until your real priorities get smothered. Focus isnโ€™t sexy. But itโ€™s undefeated.

๐Ÿš€ The Real Startup Test Isnโ€™t Funding. Itโ€™s Friction. We glamorise pitch decks and Shark Tank wins. But the real test? Can your idea survive silence? โ€“ No replies from VCs โ€“ No traction on launch day โ€“ No co-founder energy at 2 a.m. Thatโ€™s wh

If your startup canโ€™t survive without funding, Itโ€™s not a startup. Itโ€™s a PowerPoint presentation. Donโ€™t chase investors. Chase profitability, positioning, and product-market fit. Thatโ€™s real entrepreneurship. #Vision2030 #ChakorOne

Everyone talks about the raise. Very few talk about what hits after the wire lands. Itโ€™s not champagne.โ€จItโ€™s speed.โ€จItโ€™s pressure.โ€จItโ€™s silence. Suddenly the product you loved building.. turns into a number game. Suddenly you're building to justif

No one warns you. Startups donโ€™t die from lack of ideas โ€” they die from: Burnout masked as hustle Empty accounts with fake optimism Building alone while everyone else moves on You question everything. You doubt yourself daily. You still show up.

Who are you blaming for your lack of progress? If itโ€™s someone other than yourself, they control your life. How can you take back that control?

Been thinking a lot about how startups die. โ€จIt's rarely the idea.โ€จItโ€™s usually the speed. Or lack of it. Or could be something you may talk about. Came across this old military concept- the OODA Loop - and itโ€™s amazing. Observe -Orient -Decide -Ac
