💡 Zepto didn’t just grow fast because of a great idea it had the network to scale it. Not many talk about this, but one of Zepto’s co-founders has a father who manages the wealth of a major Middle Eastern family. This connection didn’t just provide capital it gave trust, access, and speed during their fundraising journey. 📈 In startups, having the right idea is just one part of the puzzle. 🧠 The right network? That’s a force multiplier. Whether it’s getting into top-tier VC rooms, closing large rounds quickly, or hiring CXOs who you know can sometimes matter more than what you know. 👉 Lesson for founders: Don't just build your product. Build your network. It compounds faster than code.
