A not so well recognised theory in startup litrature is :
False PMF
You might catch a random revenue spike luck, timing, virality, memetics,one big deal, algo, some shit or some vapourware
Then you pour the next 5–10 months or more grinding with insane dedication forgetting you have a life… fully convinced that was pmf. Chasing the same high or just one begging your universe to make it happen one more time.
I learnt this the hard way. Even when mentors around asked me to take a step back, and realise , i did not do that.
I might still go back in time and take fat salary instead of pouring more $$ to chase that high.
There's ofcourse not a right playbook or checklist for doing this. Mostly it's raw dogging and FAFO.
But the real privilege is having people around you who have seen the game since long to recognise patterns, and you yourself being sharp enough to cut the noise.

Few years ago we won the @ECISVEEP hackathon and built digi voter , ran a small pilot within karnataka elections. It was simple on chain attendance with biometrics so voters don't repeat. I was young college kid whitepilled about vishwaguru.
Went to all state election commissioners and to my surprise the second conversation always was about bribes to run a pilot??? Firstly the election commissioner babus were too adamant to not have any technological prowess and treat voters as dehatis (well it's true for majority).
One IIT Kanpur passout commissioner blackpilled me and said I'm just wasting my time trying out any government project. I should just go get a job or build something else, and he gave me that advice as an elder. It stuck and I personally gave up. My friends are still hustling out to get some pilot for digi voter and that loop is never completed without a bribe conversation, only for some kids to run a pilot.
Another major use case unlocked with the cute lil @opengotchi
Opengotchi can act like your fridge magnet, and you just order stuff through that, maybe even use voice chat for more

Hi @aannuujX , let's get Swiggy orders on the gotchiiii
Super cooool stuff by @0xaniketsharma on the gotchi!
I'll be personally using this app to use my claude while taking a walk with my dog!
If I send one gotchi to you, what would you be building on it?
Happy to share that our project @opengotchi got shortlisted for @base batches @virtuals_io robotics track.
Here is what all we achived since last month :
1) shipped v0.69 to 50+ people around the world( hmu if you need your hands on the gotchi)
2) made the device /buddy compatible with @claudeai with GotchiOS ( a custom OS built on micropython, which connects your agent to the device to build, w/o flashing the firmware )
3) put up a robost gotchiskill.md , so your device is compatible with your agent
4) moved to KL, malaysia to build from @virtuals_io office
5) experimenting with @UnitreeRobotics to make it controllable with @opengotchi
6) Won @monad moltiverse hackathon
7) Made gotchiOS compatible with @M5Stack , @ESP32net
8) Got together the global logistics for shipments and procurement(hardest part building a hardware project)
Alright, we're dry again. Love the demand.
I've processed the 3.4m deposit and as soon as we have a refill on our gGOR will approve the rest.
Hang tight.
