🚨 Harsh Truth: Most “startup ideas” I see on Medial aren’t startups. They’re just random ideas. After spending some time on Medial, here’s something I’ve observed: 90% of users don’t want to solve a real problem. They just want to “do a startup.” They’re not thinking about: • What real-world pain are we solving? • Who is the target customer? • Why now? • What’s our business model? • What’s the USP and moat? • How do we make actual revenue? Instead, many just share: • Ideas that already exist with no differentiation. • Add-on features that existing giants can build overnight. And the wildest part? Some founders casually ask for ₹30L–₹50L in funding — at the ideation stage — with zero clarity on valuation, revenue potential, or even execution roadmap. A startup is not a dream. It’s a business. To everyone building on Medial: 💡 Start with real problems. 📈 Build revenue-first businesses. 🚀 Validate like a founder. Not just a dreamer.

Want to start a startup in 2025? 🚀 Step 1: Spot a real problem. Step 2: Build a simple solution. Step 3: Test it. If people pay, you scale! Startups aren’t about ideas, they’re about solving problems. 💡
