fearlessness of first time founders usually trumps the experience of second time founders because you need a certain level of foolish belief to invent the future — you only have it *once* in your entrepreneurial life.. the first time! there are rare exceptions, as expected.
At idea stage, pedigree wins. At MVP stage, early PMF sign wins. At early product stage, growth wins. At growing product stage, rate of growth wins. At scaling usage, retention wins. At good retention, monetization wins. At post monetization stage, unit economics wins.
listen to your customers intently but remember that you have to figure out what to take away from it and what *not to*
WHATSAPP SCAM ALERT: some friends have just shared that they have received whatsapp messages from a US number with my profile photo with the usual "I'm stuck and need you to send money via UPI etc." --- please block & report the number. 🙏🙏
ai that personalizes commerce for us may be an interesting thing to tinker with - dm me if you write code and want to tinker on this.
when is .@zomato launching an ai to help us order (1) more creatively (2) based on mood (3) to discover new stuff (4) etc … and take away the misery of searching and browsing and then ending up ordering the same usual stuff :)
can ai put an end to the misery of “what do you want to eat today” question in every household that cooks fresh meals?
can we build better habits with personalized ai nudging us …or not really?
consumer ai opp has yet again sparked the debate around whether one super app will win in ai or we will have a proliferation of ai apps for specific purposes. thoughts?
what founders expect from their seed VCs —
brainstorming with a few teams who are building consumer ai for indian users — super interesting and super hard to think at the sane time. and yet india may be the best market to build consumer ai — hard to imagine what it will look like but easy to imagine that you will get…
how will an ad-monetized ai do the right thing for the user and the advertiser at the same time? is that even possible?
can we truly subsidize the cost of serving an ai to $0 and make money through ads or something else?
vertical ai / search back in the dotcom bubble there were many vertical search companies - the idea was that you could deliver a better and relevant search experience if you constrained yourself to a vertical. made complete sense. however none of them really survived most…
what is ai search for now it is really about using the worlds best search engine, going through all the relevant results like a human would (potentially better) and then creating a summary of the findings like a human would in their mind…and potentially better than most…
for a chance to gun for google search business, there will always be enough (billions) capital at disposal. question is if it’s possible and with what model. can you beat google by simply being 2 steps ahead on AI search? or you need to attack from a very different surface?…

@vaibhavbetter True as Hell. Foolish belief is very under rated but equally instrumental factor in assessing founder quality.
