The decision to invest BIG, especially with propreitory capital, is like creating that perfect cocktail :

Loads of foresight, a strong shot of data, a squeeze of gut call and a dash of courage!

Unpopular opinion

While recruiting for your VC fund, if a candidate's resume misses key details like past employment for a couple of years, and if we end up hiring them - will they miss out stuff while evaluating deals?

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.

Not sure if this will scar me or elevate my diverse-genre-appreciation.

A startup founder shared today that he felt brutally "grilled" by a funds GP about a company HE has been building, HE has been bootstrapping and a HE has absolute command over.

Skepticism is legit - Insulting is not.

Why give investors so much power?

Yest match reflected "The Power Law",except that it was reverse for 🇮🇳

India won the league matches with a flawless 10-0, and lost the one that mattered the most.

Much like investors who invest in 10 and end up winning 1, which,takes care of the other 9 which tank.The irony!

[Ankit Kedia @akedia]

Forcing myself to sit through the loss.
Hopefully it helps with the recovery. As raw as it can get 🤷🏻‍♂️

OZs clearly deserved to win!
Well fought 🇮🇳 ⁃ so so proud of you, irrespective!

In the realm of business strategy, aggression doesn't always mean being the loudest in the room.

Sometimes, the most impactful moves are quiet
calculated, and strategy-driven.

No Sir, you can't be a startup mentor/advisor to 35yr old founders

- if you've just completed your bachelors in 2021 and
- your experience encompasses heading college activities and
- last 2 years were spent in 6 internship roles of 3 months each.

@ravihanda I am quite appalled with your bias. Especially the punch line at the end. Selling is fundamental to any successful organization, being bad at it isn't the right theory to diss the job itself. Even negotiating a salary at an interview, is selling right ?

@_TechSparks was as usual a blast! Had some amazing conversations with Sahar of @barenecessities Aditya of @letbeco!

Two main areas of investigation for us are climate tech, which isn’t so easy to predict, and #fintech, which is easier to predict, says @akedia, Founder & Lead Investor, Capital A, during a panel discussion on Sustainable Success: Profit With A Conscience at #TechSparks2023.

Founder : I just want to meet you to get your feedback on my startup.

Investor : Sure - but are you raising capital?

Founder : No,we have a lot of interest but we arent.

Investor : Ok

Founder : Btw we are doing a small round, but you ll have to move fast if you want in.
