@whoshaheer Also true of i-banks. Got a reach out from a vc fund analyst who is with a bank now saying let’s catch up. I found it strange but said yes, i later find out he is running mandate for a competitor and request to meet was to get dope on us🤦‍♂️

On a Beacon House call, a parent suddenly said: “Wait… you’re the Magic Crate guy? We used all your kits!”

Instant nostalgia and messy science memories 😅

Reminder to self: careers compound like investments. Work from one chapter quietly builds equity in the next!

Congress is the old monopolist struggling to survive in free market with fast moving competitors who read the market much better than them!

If you’re a parent wondering how to help your child find direction,
DMs are open — always happy to share how we think about this.

[Viswanathan @rvishy79]

Everyone talks about product–market fit.
But in education, that’s not the real unlock.
The real differentiator is:

Founder–market fit.

Because when the “product” is a young person’s future, who guides them matters as much as what you offer.

[Viswanathan @rvishy79]

In an industry full of templates, checklists and “one-size-fits-all” advice…

Founder–market fit isn’t just a nice-to-have.
It’s the only model that actually works.

If you’re curious how we think about admissions strategy for high-performing students, my DMs are open.

[Viswanathan @rvishy79]

The problem with large counseling companies — and the model we built instead.
A thread for parents of ambitious students.

Just ask families from TISB, DAIS, Pathways, Jaishree Periwal, and The Shri Ram Schools who trust this approach.
