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 โ€” nothing fancy, no prizes at first. What surprised me: โ€ข People engaged more with questions than content โ€ข Even quiet members voted when it felt low-effort โ€ข Discussions happened after the poll, not before โ€ข โ€œI donโ€™t knowโ€ options increased participation The biggest learning for me wasnโ€™t about quizzes โ€” it was about how founders prefer to engage. They donโ€™t want to be talked at. They want to think, react, and compare opinions. Feels like early-stage communities fail not because people donโ€™t care โ€” but because we ask too much attention upfront. Still learning, but this changed how I think about launching, feedback, and engagement. Curious โ€” have you seen similar patterns when trying to get early users to participate?

In 5 years, saying "I donโ€™t use AI" will sound just as outdated as saying "I donโ€™t use the internet" did in the early 2000s. The ones who are playing with AI todayโ€”building, testing, learningโ€” will be miles ahead of those still busy arguing about it

I made a post about hiring positions sometime back but I donโ€™t see it. I donโ€™t think it was deleted because thereโ€™s no update about that. Any idea what actually happened? Niket Raj Dwivedi Harsh Dwivedi

90% of startups fail โ€” but not because of bad ideas. They fail because they: Donโ€™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 startups donโ€™t fail because of bad products. They fail because they whisper in a world that rewards those who scream strategically. Itโ€™s not about shouting louder โ€” itโ€™s about knowing where to shout, when to shout, and who to shout at.
