๐Ÿšจ Harsh Truth: Most โ€œstartup ideasโ€ I see on Medial arenโ€™t startups. Theyโ€™re just random ideas. After spending some time on Medial, hereโ€™s something Iโ€™ve observed: 90% of users donโ€™t want to solve a real problem. They just want to โ€œdo a startup.โ€ Theyโ€™re not thinking about: โ€ข What real-world pain are we solving? โ€ข Who is the target customer? โ€ข Why now? โ€ข Whatโ€™s our business model? โ€ข Whatโ€™s the USP and moat? โ€ข How do we make actual revenue? Instead, many just share: โ€ข Ideas that already exist with no differentiation. โ€ข Add-on features that existing giants can build overnight. And the wildest part? Some founders casually ask for โ‚น30Lโ€“โ‚น50L in funding โ€” at the ideation stage โ€” with zero clarity on valuation, revenue potential, or even execution roadmap. A startup is not a dream. Itโ€™s a business. To everyone building on Medial: ๐Ÿ’ก Start with real problems. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Build revenue-first businesses. ๐Ÿš€ Validate like a founder. Not just a dreamer.
