Totally agree!!

This is a refreshingly real view of how to think about markets, valuations and what is sustainably possible in the long haul. A set of views from @Nithin0dha that deeply resonates with what @sfcorpcomm has been practising for 70 years and will continue...

Pitch-deck advice: I don't think I have ever seen a fundraising deck getting better by using a designer to design it. The same goes for using fancy tools like Figma, Keynote, https://t.co/eH5EymVQmy, or Canva. At @ycombinator we recommend people to use Google Slides and keep it simple.

The two mistakes founders make are believing that the creative capabilities of the tools make a better deck. The second mistake is believing that the design is important.

The most creative people operate under constraints. And the most powerful tools are your words and storytelling. Clear communication and relatable storytelling allow a listener to put themselves in the seat of the person having the problem you are solving. The best way to visualize this is with real photos of real people having these problems.

The best fundraising decks have this structure:
1) Headline that concludes the point you are making
2) 3-4 bullets with evidence towards the point you are making
3) Repeat until you've covered all conclusions
4) Wrap this in a storytelling narrative - tie the slides together with a story
5) Whenever possible, only use real photos and if you use screenshots, zoom in on the thing that tells the story

The exception to the "don't hire a designer rule" is when the founder themselves is a designer. They know what is important about this business - another person will never know this.

Corollary - if you find it hard to get 10 easiest first customers - maybe you are barking up the wrong tree. time to check if you are working on the right problem #earlystage #startupadvice

[Gokul Rajaram @gokulr]

One of YC's credos is: "find the easiest first 10 customers". This is a powerful maxim because it forces founders to:
(a) think deeply about who has the biggest pain and so is easiest to sell to.
(b) find ways to shorten sales cycle, increase velocity and build GTM muscles.

[Arka Datta | AFI @0xriskyops]

A bird's eye view on what the budget holds for the startup ecosystem #Budget2023 #AntlerIndia

[Antler India @AntlerIndia]

The #Budget2023 is out and the Indian startup ecosystem has quite a lot to look forward to.

From Digital Public Infra for Agri to AI accelerators and relaxed regulations, here are your key startup takeaways from Shrimati @nsitharaman's address 👇

[Juan José @jjvallejoa]

I think at this point, and without having played the guy before, Djokovic knows where Tommy Paul is going to serve before Tommy Paul himself.

Kokki “kokkinakis” Kumar - what a crazy match with Andy murray #AusOpen #MurrayKokkinakis

[Aakrit Vaish @aakrit]

If you're an Indian founder building SaaS for the world, the "for the world" part needs to start from Day 0.

There is no point in getting the initial traction in India, then flipping. Takes you 2 steps back on product and the quality of revenue is sub-par.

[techambi @tech_ambi]

This thread resonates a lot #startup #india
