i am no longer in blr anymore(mentally)
the blr startup and tech ecosystem has a lot of self limiting belief's that make it really hard for people to get exposure to millions in wealth
everyone is chasing the same cookie cutter goals
the same VCs, AI agents bs, YC and what not
wealth is in the gaps anon
seek and you shall find
you have two options when you're in your late 20's
you can either rev max or token max
choose wisely

just scaled a new brand to $2.4M ARR in the last few weeks
everything everyone told you about building consumer brands is a lie
if you're young, ambitious and can grind 16hrs a day for the next 6 months of your life
i promise you i can show you how to achieve these outcomes
DM me if you alr know me or AMA on the comments
true words
Indian VCs are terrible at their own job.
They spend all day saying, “We bet on founders.”
Okay. Talk to me. You don’t have to think I’m a great founder. You might meet me and decide I’m an idiot.
UCLA Math-Econ. WTFund winner. Bootstrapped @referrush profitably while growing ~30% MoM in a massive market. Built it with my own money. Millions of organic impressions from my content. I play poker profitably at a high level. I build systems, sell, write, ship and allocate capital. I have ‘childhood trauma’
But if your entire business is finding exceptional founders before everyone else does, how have you not even tried to have a conversation with me?
Because Indian VC still has the power dynamic backwards.
They sit in their offices and wait for founders to come asking for money.
The best investors should be doing the opposite: relentlessly hunting interesting founders, building relationships years before they need capital, and earning the right to invest when they eventually do.
If you really “bet on founders,” you should be chasing founders.
Not waiting for them to chase you.

Launching Junction: come speed-run the semiconductor tech tree this December in Bangalore.
We’re flying in students from all over India 🇮🇳 to a 2-week fabrication retreat at @_lagrangepoint to build equipment, design chips and engineer processes, with our friends at @hackerfabindia.
India still needs thousands of semicon engineers -- the ecosystem to produce them isn’t mature enough yet -- we're changing that.
Current applicants have built vacuum chambers to study plasma physics, RISC-V processors from scratch, scanning tunneling microscopes, et cetera
At junction you will:
1. Propose a project
2. Figure out a plan with the Junction team.
3. Iterate fast towards a working prototype, with help from the Junction team
4. Be mentored by top semiconductor hackers and specialists.
5. Demo to industry leaders, founders, investors, and your fellow craftspeople
Flights, accommodation and project expenses? All covered. Apply on the link below
its kinda funny how entirety of tech twitter is surprised by paid acquisition
there are ecom brands that spent millions of $$ in spend/day and are still casual about it lmao
this is probably why

stop relying purely on launch videos as your only form of distribution
virality is not as powerful anymore
if you can build repeatable defensible distribution channels like paid ads, UGC, viral loops in your product
scaling from 0 to $100k/mo is so easy
L take
caleb friesen is a hero for the blr startup ecosystem and does everything for the love of the game
no one should say otherwise
yeah it is
but unfortunately its sora 2
bro this is a million dollar idea
