I noticed something odd while running startup quizzes for a week This week I ran a simple experiment. Instead of sharing startup news or advice, I posted one short quiz question per day around startups — nothing fancy, no prizes at first. What surprised me: • People engaged more with questions than content • Even quiet members voted when it felt low-effort • Discussions happened after the poll, not before • “I don’t know” options increased participation The biggest learning for me wasn’t about quizzes — it was about how founders prefer to engage. They don’t want to be talked at. They want to think, react, and compare opinions. Feels like early-stage communities fail not because people don’t care — but because we ask too much attention upfront. Still learning, but this changed how I think about launching, feedback, and engagement. Curious — have you seen similar patterns when trying to get early users to participate?

In 5 years, saying "I don’t use AI" will sound just as outdated as saying "I don’t use the internet" did in the early 2000s. The ones who are playing with AI today—building, testing, learning— will be miles ahead of those still busy arguing about it

I made a post about hiring positions sometime back but I don’t see it. I don’t think it was deleted because there’s no update about that. Any idea what actually happened? Niket Raj Dwivedi Harsh Dwivedi

90% of startups fail — but not because of bad ideas. They fail because they: Don’t talk to users Build too much, too early Run out of cash Solve a real problem, stay lean, and keep listening. #StartupTips #Entrepreneurship

Most people don’t fail because their idea is bad. They fail because they quit too early. Do you agree — or is this just startup fairy-tale talk?” “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful
