๐Ÿ’ก Zepto didnโ€™t just grow fast because of a great idea it had the network to scale it. Not many talk about this, but one of Zeptoโ€™s co-founders has a father who manages the wealth of a major Middle Eastern family. This connection didnโ€™t just provide capital it gave trust, access, and speed during their fundraising journey. ๐Ÿ“ˆ In startups, having the right idea is just one part of the puzzle. ๐Ÿง  The right network? Thatโ€™s a force multiplier. Whether itโ€™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. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Lesson for founders: Don't just build your product. Build your network. It compounds faster than code.
