@JaswanthBeere @fdotinc @Devlabs_club @enter_delta @theresidency congrats jaswanth!!

random reminder: you don't need to be qualified on paper to be qualified in practice.

start building. the credentials follow the work, not the other way around.

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

when i was 16 i sat in a room with heads of state at the UN discussing climate policy.

i didn't have a title. i didn't have a company. i had a project i believed in and refused to wait my turn.

that's still how i operate.

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

every single thing i've built has been about the same thing: access.

giving kids in tribal villages access to tech. giving girls access to confidence in coding. giving myself access to rooms i was "too young" for.

now i'm building an AI tool that gives small businesses access to branding they can't afford.

the pattern never changed.

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

was teaching girls to code and kept noticing it wasn't skill holding them back. it was confidence.

so i wrote a book about it. funny enough the whole premise, you don't need to know code to start building, is basically what vibe coding is now.

@ycombinator general partner @sdianahu came to speak at our build club, @cornellarmada today.

biggest takeaway: it's not about the industry or the market. it's about the founders and their drive to build no matter what.

cornell and ithaca are quietly stacked with talent. excited to see more YC x @Cornell energy

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

the best hack for getting into rooms you "don't belong in":

apply anyway. the worst they say is no. the best? you win the whole thing.

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

people ask why i started building so young.

honestly? nobody told me i couldn't yet. by the time they did, i'd already shipped.

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

@aayush_aggarwal yup!

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

i'm building an AI tool that does in minutes what agencies charge $5k for.

branding shouldn't be a luxury. if you have a business, you deserve a brand that looks like you take yourself seriously.

that's klque.

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

when i wanted to teach kids in India to code, nonprofits said "they don't even know English yet."

so i built english curriculums and computer labs in tribal villages. 300+ kids now have access they didn't before.

sometimes the real problem isn't the one you started with.

shared a feature idea with a friend. their face said ‘hmm’. might launch it anyway.

how do you handle lukewarm feedback?

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

@enter_delta my biggest lesson this week: progress happens when you stop perfecting and start building

[Arushi Aggarwal @DoUnknown16]

@GauravSarkar99 @enter_delta @indilingo will message you!
